Unreal! Wow. I like the use of colour and the "fish-eye"? lens.

I swear, if I had a couple of beers before I voted I would find this a little disturbing... lol! Thats not to say it's not intriguing. On the contrary, I can't seem to stop looking at it. I love the fish-eye approach, the higher angle, the setup, the shot, the title. If anything, I think you have captured 'alone' in three ways: the desolate background, the bunny, and your main subject. There are two slight things that deter me from shouting brilliance though. 1. It doesnt portray this particular challenge (toys) a 100% for me, and thats to say in essence. If this was for a dream challenge or something, I wouldve yielded. And no 2: I think you couldve cropped a tad off the right for balance. Great shot!!

Like a dream. Reminds of the scene from the movie, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Where the two grownup main character appear playing their young selves in a childhood memory.

Nice composition, use of fish eye, desaturation. Looks like backfocus a few feet behind the subjects feet, the sand looks sharp behind and on the lower right, but the main subjects are too soft. I still like the image, its story, and feel.
