cool :) imo its 3 separate pictures, a girl, a hand and twig, and what looks like a caterpillar :D

U can see where the hand has been added by the out of proportions to everything else, also the jagged edges of the hand where the picture has been cut-out using adobe or whatever the persons using to create the photo :)

Dont mean to burst your bubble :X I could be wrong though :)

it is a catapillar and i had the same thought, i thought it was the back of her hair. it was not modified with any image editing at all, she musta used some kool camera. the cutout-neww may be the scaling, did u click the image? if thats not it then idk, maybe its just the upload quality reducing shit...

she says:

"just appreciate the picture for what it is, if thats even possible, and its not up there for them to "understand". i dont even understand the pictures i take sometimes."

I like to know the meaning of art and photography, else to me it seems blank with no meaning.

I dont understand the pics i take either, i look back at some of them and think 'wtf is that anyway?' XD
