Greetings from the critique club.

First let me say I think you met the challenge, def a doll or puppet, although could be mistaken for a toy instead. Either way I like your subject, very creative lighting, nothing standard about side lighting, maybe just a touch softer would have helped, not sure of your diffuser but maybe try to soften it or make it appear larger then it is.

I like the background, but I wish you had maybe used a bit of a reflector on camera right so you can fill in the shadows just a touch and give a bit of detail to the left side of subject.
Overall I think you did well. And scored just about where I would have put it.

Is it a doll/pupper, or a toy? I need to give benefit of the doubt on this challenge. It's hard to tell. I do like the lighting and and expression of this critter, whatever it is.

Terrific minimalist image. I like the mood & setting. Great look on the doll/puppet's face. 7

Looks like his head can twist off, which makes me think he's one of those novelty bubble bath containers hehe. Very cute.

Not a "bad" shot. Just not appealing to me.
Too dark? Too much shadow? Hard to tell exactly why.

good lighting. aspect ratio is a bit skinny, a tad more space at left had helped
