Oh I like this one a lot- the baby looks so fresh and out of place in this picture.

Michelle is right. I also like all the texture in this photo, though. Even the screen door almost looks like there is a secret image hidden in there.

Michelle – I hadn't noticed, but, yes, the baby does seem to be out of place.
Teeni – I went back and looked at a larger version of the image and it looks like part of the "secret image" on the screen door is scratches and a flaw on the picture or on the negative, almost like an inadvertent watermark. Similar flaws can be seen on the rest of the image, too.
