Very much a last minute entry, will probably crash and burn. But I got lots of much-needed practice in warping so I don't mind a bad score this time round.

Nice concept!! I have a couple of suggestions, IMHO... your doll is not ancored she appears to be floating in mid air, I would've used that layer and put it behind the horse, then layer mask hide all and then brought her back into the scene leaving the far right leg behind the horse, and put a tish of a blurr on the horse so he dosen't appear too shiny for the rest of this scene. Those are just my suggestions, for what they are worth!

I'm not quite sure how to comment here. i'm going for 100% so i'll just say my thoughts on the image:

the warped house/land in the background make me feel slightly uneasy when staring at the doll on the horse - i know something is not right - we cannot see such a shift in the world and it immediately has a negative impact on this image for me from the onset.
the blue tube is inconsistently lit when compared to the background. i know an argument could be made for the snow reflecting light, but the house appears to be lit from the left side of the screen based on shadows, as does the horse based on the sheen, so they make sense.
you appear to have made a shadow in the middle to account for the horse going over it which is nice attention to detail; but with the light on the left side, the shadow should be further to the right side, not directly underneath.

overall you have a good concept here and have put some good work into your entry; the biggest thing keeping me from putting the score above a 6 is the perspective of the house/landscape.

I'm going to take a guess that this is Snaffles for a few reasons (antique-y toys, country home, look of the surrounding area looks like some of the areas south-west of Ottawa (though the same could be said of many country homes); but mostly it's just a gut feeling.

For some reason, I really like this, the house skew, the Coraline feel, the snow- it all is quite nice.
