How'd I miss this?? It's terrific. Maybe I didn't vote on all of those. Must not have.

Really a nice capture. It has a sad sense like it was lost or fell off of a bike, or maybe dropped. Great leading line!!!

Tough subject to take an appealing photo of but this is actually well done! Spooky, creepy Stephen King atmosphere! Leaves the viewer wondering about what the story is here. Top 20 if not top 10 ;)

I think this is a great photo. It conveys a feeling of loss and sadness. Or, I could just be talking out of my ***. :) Anyway, like the colors and subject. Good luck.

beautiful -- great light.

11/11/2005 08:34:39 PM
aww...nice image though it leaves me a little sad or even scared, like a little girl lost her baby doll or else she was kidnapped! nice clarity on the subject and meets challenge - good job :)

I like the use of the tight DOF. It really forces attention on the discarded doll. To me, the lines of the road seem to imply someone having dropped it and carried on their way.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good use of shallow DOF. Novel idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/11/2005 10:52:16 AM
I like your choice of positioning the subject in your composition. DOF works well for me also. Good leading line with the road taking the viewer out/thru the image.

Overall, very nice. 8. Good luck in the challenge! ;^)

this would make an awesome advertisement for a teen center... I find it hard to explain how much this touches me

like how the doll's face is away from the viewer, really makes it feel cast aside. nice light.

Beautiful representation. Emotional and powerful. Great job. 10 (The only 10 I gave out in this challenge.)

This is a very simple and pleasing shot, sometimes simplicity can be very thought provoking and in my opinion you have acheived that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/09/2005 04:20:41 PM
This really evokes a lot of emotion, if the garbage were not a doll it wouldn't have the same impact. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/09/2005 02:22:27 PM
the background is too unfocused for me...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/09/2005 01:04:39 PM
Very nice picture that tells a story. Interesting leading line and good use of shallow depth of field.
