Comment by bassbone:
the choice of closeup is good but the details seem to be a bit lost on the berries themselves

It's gruesome, sure... but the only thing I would change is the cropping to eliminate the bright blue happy eyes...

I'd try tilting it and cropping it so very little of the doll's left eye is showing at all.

Yeah, its creepy, but its a different twist, the lighting and colors go with the idea, 6.

I'm sure you have probably received a lot of comments on this (potentially positive and negative) the title holds a good message to new parents - the image may be too graphic for the more conservative folk - the development of the image overall is well done - tho there are some hot spots on the fabric and on the 'skin tone' that I'm sure if this was advanced editing you probably would have dodged/burned around and in- but since its basic editing you pulled this one off - succeeding to make it look almost horrifically real - it will be interesting to see the reactions of the voters to this image later - my own reaction initially was "this one is going to get a lot of reactions" I scored this on the high end but need to point out the distracting element of my eye being pulled out of the frame due to the white spots/fabric /skin tone on the edge.. -- high score -- good luck

I don't really like the angle you took this from. And some of the lights seem to be a bit overexposed and blown out.

How can you not love this shot? Just simply superb post processing and use of duotones.

I bet you are going to get knocked pretty hard for the content of this picture. Nice lighting on the head, but I would have left a bit more room on the top so the baby doesn't look so trapped by the crop.
