    Very cool shot though I'm wishing it was a little sharper. Interesting subject. Something about broken/abandoned dolls that make you pause.

    As was already mentioned, the focus is off. I would have preferred that you composed this image with a little more sense of the surroundings. When you can capture a subject like this surrounded by a deteriorating or abandoned setting, those images often look haunting. With that being said, I recognize that you shot this for school.

    Peace

    A very interesting image. As mentioned, the eye on a non moving subject, should be razor sharp.

    ditto on the interesting image - was this found or set? If set, you might take Peter up on his idea of placing it in a more grungy/decaying setting. This concept screams of potential.

    We had an object given by our teacher, we were supposed to throw it and where it landed that's where we took the picture of the object. I decided to break the rules and stage it. After throwing it, the head broke off from the doll. XD

    Lack of decaying setting and time, had me shoot as is.
