This is my first image entered into a challenge in a LONG time... the reason being in the box.
I guess since i'm a very new mother, I got the idea to do this image because I cannot even imagine someone leaving their newborn child behind. My parents just recently purchased an old hotel in Christiana, PA. I took a box from the hotel, grabbed my little girl, and stated shooting some images. I had a different image in my head, so I did another shoot with her in the studio with some packing peanuts, which i'll post after the challenge. In the end, I came back to this image obviously. The only thing I did to this image was convert to black and white through Aperture and exported it as a JPEG. No Photoshop because I had to reorder for my Mac! UGh... I miss it so much!

The title sugests a powerful image but this has a little too much "cute factor" in it to go with the title. The title and the image almost seem to be fighting each other.
