She looks spooky with her eyes. Does she sit in your car? Great captures, Alfredo.

Erik from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands

Looks like a scout of a coming ET invasion; transfers effectively the ominous, goose skin feeling.

paperdoll from pty, Panama

- Just chilin' around -
When I see this pic, I have mixed impressions of it. 1. I like the fact that you focused on the face (especially the eyes.. uuuuyy.. q miedo!).
2. I don't know how I feel about the rest - maybe it's the problem with my eyes.
