Caught this one of my son as we were walking back from trick or treating. I used the onboard flash and held the camera near his knees. I shot a few from this angle, and he started responding with crazy faces and such. I was going for a stark snapshot effect.

My entry has been in validation for the length of the challenge. As of this writing, a few minutes before the challenge ends, I still don't know what's going on. I can only guess it's about the border. It was an afterthought really and my first use of a border in any challenge. This one is a one-click action in PSP. I thought it added to the snapshot feel of the image, but obviously I didn't have much time to think about it, as we got in about eleven-thirty Halloween night.
