Hello from the critique club :o)

I agree with the comment made by puzzled with the crop being too tight on the bottom and sides while a tighter crop at the top would have been better. I think the color and texture of the background gave this an "old" feel which i think was a very good decision. the subject,both the "camera" and photo, you chose are perfect. I think this might have scored a bit better maybe at a different angle. I feel the straight on approach might be what hurt this a bit score wise. Maybe try an angle where you see both a portion of the photo and the side of the camera.I think this perspective would have given this photo more of an "interest factor". your focus seems to be dead on where it should be and the faded border added to the old feel of this.

If you have any questions about this critique please dont hesitate to PM me. good luck in future challenges

The doll is REALLY creative for this type of image! Kind of a too-tight crop on the sides and too little on the top, in my opinion, but maybe this is just how you wanted it. I like the colors.
