 Anne was staring at me so I figured last minute to submit her lifeless eyes and features :-)

(*Img # 6709*)
yeah i know the lights in the eyes are not exactly the same i wish they were but I'm not taking it again- if this was advanced editing I'd dodge/burn the eyes a bit but its not so oh well :-)

Greetings from the critique club. How odd the first one I pull from the que is yours. OK here we go

First things I find that might have hurt the score, the catch lights in the eyes are not equal(is that a fongsphere?) One thing that I might have changed to see the texture of the doll a bit is add some directional light. Bring it from the side and lets see some texture and shadows out of all those stitches and cloth. It might also bring the catchlights higher in the eye and make them more natural. Crop is nice and tight, but a little centered I might have experimented with it a few different crops to see which I liked better rather then centered.

I like how you desaturated the colors and have the tones nice and warm. Good luck in future challenges.

Great Idea. Could have been better focused and a diff light angle may have helped

I love this! I wish the lights weren't so perfectly reflected in Ann's eyes, though.

You've successfully captured the shape and texture of this doll's face, but I think it's too regular and flat to be really interesting.
