He's a story unto himself. This is not too dark at all. It's haunting but in a fairy tale kind of way. Beautiful. Stunning. #6238229

Laura E. Swan level-classic August 19, 2008

Yes! I agree with Michelle! This totally rings bells of a novel cover! MARVELOUS creation Paola!!!

Maybe it could be called something like:

"The Paper Boy"

Or as a photograph it could be called:

1) Go Into The Light

2) Away From The Light

or a humorous title like:

2) I'm Baaaack!

Really love this one. What a great job. Wish I knew how you did this! -Laura #6335308

paola A. Jofre August 22, 2008

thank you very much Laura :) !!! Love your titles btw :)...thank you...I wish I could remember how I did this one:)...often when I work on a new image and technique I just go with the flow and don't think about it or write it down...usually on the second image I start writing things down :) I do remember knowing what I where I wanted the boy and how I wantd the house to look...i had to cut up the house a bit and work on the boy.....i get frustrated with myself when I see an image in my mind and have a hard time getting out there...it takes me a bit..but I did achieve what I first saw with this little guy :) #6350920
