The composition and lighting are charming. I'll give it a 9 but I expect itwon't win.

Originally posted by Dibutil: From Critique Club. I agree with all good words about this photo by other commenters. The lights on dolls' faces make the look alive and expressions are very intriguing. Everyone has own character and story. The low score, however, may be explained by questionable composition. The dark spot on the top-right looks unnecessary. The center-bottom - I still can't get what is it - could be little lighter or the light could be distributed more evenly. Overall nice, abstract and symbolic. Good idea and choice of the title.

Many thanks for the comments.

The dark spot and uneven lighting were an attempt to exploit the moving light source element. I probably overdid it. No apologies for the composition though which is deliberately unusual. I don't mind my usual low average score as a few people have enjoyed it and made appreciative comments.

111th? Cruelty. I gave it a 9 and I don't think that was enough. Maybe the stars were not in your favour.

Fantastic shot, but I can't see a moving light source.
