Greetings from your own critique club.

First Impression
Nice shot, but common subject.
Composition:
I would like to see the doll in the far most corner. That will give a feeling of left behind. Here doll is very close. But I assume you wanted to use the natural light from window. May be a different time of the day when the light is in the upper left corner...
Subject:
Common subject for this kind of challenge, but nicely executed.
Technical (Colour and light):
Lighting is perfect. Natural lights adds more to this kind if shot. I really like the BW / Duotome effect.
Improvement:
Composition
Summary:
Nice over all picture with good exposure and focus.

Congratualtions.

First impression:

Another "Left behind" :-) You were unlucky that others thought of the same title. You chose B/W and you were probably right in that. It is good how you use the light reflecting from the floor to "frame" the doll. The window distracts because the viewer wants to see what is out side.
What can you do better?
Different crop, i.e. away with the window. Clean the floor, there is some mud or something in the bright spot that distracts.

Number three in the "Left Behind" series! Glad I didn't enter - that was my title choice, but only because when I went to the empty house to shoot, I realized I forgot my camera. It was "Left Behind" LOL Heeheehee

This is a good shot, but the doll freaks me out. :)

Nicely composed image, though I personally would have some more sympathy for a teddy bear ;)

The careful placement of the doll doesn't make the story ring true to me, but it certainly makes for good lighting and composition.

Another dolly...what is it with this generation?

I love the high key shine and all the shades of gray-thru-silver. perhaps the picture cries out for an area of pure black, for balance. I like the pose of the doll, too.

Good idea, but the feeling isn't there, i.e. it's not convincing. Good composition.

great idea, hope this does well. only complaint is that it appears you shot it from standing eye level. it might have more impact if your camera had been door or ceiling level.
