So funny this is doing so well. It was actually from the unintended left side of a shot of someone else on the ground. I would show the full shot, but have to wait until after the free study ends as it might reveal my photo there (not the same shot used, but a distinct characteristic)

Essentially I just looked for odd and interesting images in my shots from this day and then worked them as best I could. This boy was with his mother and grandmother I think... the girl in the back is of no connection whatsoever, but the look on her face was priceless and seemed to fit the scene, so I brought her out a bit more.
Not a lot of editing on this really... crop of the original photo, multiply layers and layer masks to highlight the boy and the girl...

I knew this would do well. I loved the spooky feel of this, and the little girl in the background is the icing on the cake. Congrats on the Posthumous honors and nice score!
