I love the emotion here, it's very raw. Great job with this photo.

Certainly makes this dull challenge more interesting... very emotive picture, tough take on this subject but worthy. My favorite in the challenge.

Creative interpretation and artistically done, but...

Post-challenge edit:
Hmmm. In spite of the title, I felt it was shoehorned and I did not fully get the connection with dolls until I read the comment by Love6. That's what happens when I speed-vote, while attempting to do a decent amount of commenting at the same time. I take back my previous "but..." and exchange it for an "attaboy".

not a big fan looks scary and if you are using "dolls" in the way people find women I think this was the wrong way though I guess I also see your other point there as well

Interesting take on the word 'Dolls', I like this shot. The muting tones add drama.

This is disgusting, but I get your point.

You're probably getting slapped around for this OOB offering, but I think it's ingenious & creative, as well as very well done. 8

I'm not sure if this quite fits most peoples opinions of what a doll is :) but I like the out of box thinking and the image itself is amazingly done - the lighting is well done- I gave this a high score and hope it does well despite literal linear thinkers ;) models are the dolls of the fashion world- dressed up set on a stage posed and prettied up and or starved until they're nearly non-existent --its a sad reality - but a beautiful photograph --

my first reaction by the way was: -anorexia nervosa? then it took me a few moments to look over the image and the lighting and the pose... -- all well done -- high score

The light is unflattering to the model's skin. Her fingers looks nicotine stained and her tummy and neck look dirty. I don't think it fits criteria but the idea is really, really good. I just think a softer light would've been more attractive.

A nice play on the topic but I feel it DNMC

Does that make you one of the puppetmasters?
I like the subdued tones in the picture. Possibly make a better point if you had dressed her up as a doll rather than just a semi naked woman.

wow... that is disturbingly thin

Too skinny...breasts too small...4

Really good tone and light. Also like the complementary shade of the wall behind. I find the floating right hand a little distracting. I guess you'll get hammered for DNMC, but I'm adding to favourites and giving it 10 anyway.

Creative interpretation of the challenge. I like the desat and how she's looking away.

Hmm.. save her if you can.
