Nice action shot, but the composition isn't enough to hold me. The "attacker" is lost in the crop.

My first impression of this image when it popped up was "looks pretty good". Had I voted this one, I probably would have gone along with the crowd and given it a 5. I'm kinda surprised you got so many 1,2, and 3 votes, but that's DPC for ya. :)

First, the likes. I like the lighting a lot and I think the pose works quite well. I think the tilt of the head is just perfect. If I were shooting this (note: these tips might not necessarily increase your score), I would have moved the doll to the left and toward the camera a bit to give the shadow more room and presence in the shot. I don't think it looks quite deliberate enough as it is. The shot feels pretty static as well with the face being almost perfectly centered.

Some things I think would improve the score: Get rid of that pesky sensor dust. Either clean the sensor or clone those bad boys out (which is legal in basic and advanced). I think it looks sloppy, and I know I (and probably others) vote down for it. For me, it's really all about attention to detail. Also, I agree with one of your comments that it could be a little sharper.

Overall, I like it. With a little tweaking, I think the score could have jumped a ways as well.

Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks,
Nathan

Nice statutes. Arrangement and DOF work well. Reflection is a bit distracting for me, maybe a little more and a touch warmer so it's more like the sun hitting the earth.

I'm afraid not to vote. Looks like she'll be coming to see me if I say anything. Out of fear, I'll rate 10!

Nice tones but the lighting seems a tad harsh

I like the shot although its a little dark and the midsection of the doll seems to lose some detail. The shadow seems to compete with the doll just a little for attention.
