I'm sure you have probably received a lot of comments on this (potentially positive and negative) the title holds a good message to new parents - the image may be too graphic for the more conservative folk - the development of the image overall is well done - tho there are some hot spots on the fabric and on the 'skin tone' that I'm sure if this was advanced editing you probably would have dodged/burned around and in- but since its basic editing you pulled this one off - succeeding to make it look almost horrifically real - it will be interesting to see the reactions of the voters to this image later - my own reaction initially was "this one is going to get a lot of reactions" I scored this on the high end but need to point out the distracting element of my eye being pulled out of the frame due to the white spots/fabric /skin tone on the edge.. -- high score -- good luck

I bet you are going to get knocked pretty hard for the content of this picture. Nice lighting on the head, but I would have left a bit more room on the top so the baby doesn't look so trapped by the crop.
I'm not sure if the curved line on the bottom left is from the doll's head casting a shadow or if the surface it's laying on stops there, but I find it a little distracting. I think you could have let the pool of goo spread a little farther towards the bottom of the frame as well.
A little much...but that aside, the top of the picture has good lighting where as the mouth and blood don't. The blood doesn't stand out because of this.
