Held off from commenting because we are in scary doll mode again, its not whats in some of your images its whats not! Love the blurry background it leaves you looking from the bread to the unknown. Hope thats what you were trying to achieve!

Yep, DB, you got it (or is that BK? I get confused). The breadcrumbs add the 'what happened' to the story/scene while the blurred background adds the mystery of 'what happened next?', almost trying to drag you along the path even though you are not sure you want to go there. Similarly, the lack of description (hopefully) adding to the intrigue.

I had this idea in my head for a while, and decided to play around with it while up in the forest. After drawing several sketches of what i wanted the end result to look like, shooting it proved a bit harder. I shot it from all sorts of angles and eventually went with the vertorama. Working on a couple of other similarly themed shoots as soon as the rain stops...

Boy do I like this:It draws you back to the image as if to say 'you've missed somthing' but there's nothing there or is there something I've missed who knows??? the very narrow DOF makes you look at the large piece of bread then you start looking all over the image. Brilliantly thought out and captured.
