Did I evoke emotion here or did I just play with a photo that wasn't worth saving?<br>
This is my first thread here and I am still in my first couple hundred photos with my new Rebel XTi. Feel free to tell me what you think.<br>

Well, the picture is worth saving if you think it is. Do you see you would be using it for anything? print it out and framing it? Maybe trying to sell it as a stock image? Use it as an avatar?
Photographers will have thousands of pictures they throw away and thousands they will keep. It just up to you as the photographer which ones they are.
I think the picture is cool in its own way. I personally would keep it. It could bring a laugh or cry to someone some day.

I like it I think it's sweet I would however change the colors to something diffrent like red or go with black and white. The double eyes really throw it off and make you stare at it. Messes with my head I think it's a keeper! :)

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I agree and think it is a keeper. I have had a few friends say it creeps them out. That's what I like about it though. Thanks for the color ideas too.

I would keep it too. It is very interesting-definitely a conversation topic. The double eyes are creepy-but that was the point wasn't it? What did you do to the picture to create the effects?
