Oh well, it can be creepy for you, of course.  
But still, “uncanny valley” is a collective concept.  
That’s why we can realiably use the score to define something as “uncanny valley”.

@Zennistrad  
All this reasoning simply doesn’t apply.  
This picture has a positive score of 67 at the moment (and no downvotes).  
So this isn’t uncanny valley by definition, because if it was somewhat repulsive, it’d have a negative score.

The uncanny valley is a sense of revulsion against something that looks close to human, but is slightly off. Things that look human-ish but are not realistically human don’t fall into it, and things that are almost perfectly human obviously don’t either.
 
This picture falls into the uncanny valley for me because, while the rest of the body looks realistic, the eyes are too large in proportion to the face. In an anime or cartoon-styled picture this wouldn’t be a problem since it’s less realistic, but in this picture it’s obviously going for realism, which makes the less realistic eyes stick out like a sore thumb.

I wish people understood what the uncanny valley actually is and how it doesn’t apply here at all.
