Very dreamy looking. You could have used this one in the catalog photo challenge as well.

Cleavage Barbie does bokeh!

A bit of high ISO noise on Barb and her cleavage. Just a little noise reduction could smooth that out. I think the composition is a bit off, the one in focus seems squeezed too far over in the frame.

Other than the white balance being way off (Too yellowy. Try using the incandescent or fluorescent setting under these conditions), this is a nice clear close up of this action figure. Good composition and use of the shallow DOF, it leads my eye right to an interesting subject.

Is he doing with that tree what I think he is? Maybe he's just hugging his mother. Yea, that's it...

Some may not consider porcelain figurines to be dolls, however, I'm being flexible on my definition for this challenge. A good enough shot, but it's just not grabbing my attention in any way.

I'm afraid this entry has a lot of problems. The two major ones are:
a) Colors are very washed out looking. I copied and pasted this into PaintShop Pro out of curiosity, and a quick levels adjustment improved that problem in a big way.

b) Focus is on the grating and not on the doll. Refocusing, or using a narrower aperture to gain greater Depth Of Field would have helped there. There is nothing that can help that after the fact, however.

I like the concept but the execution is a little short, I'm afraid. Seems really fuzzy and blown out. Lacking in detail. I can't tell if it's because of your original shot, or if you over enhanced it. I wouldn't mind seeing the out of the camera shot after the challenge.

But Sir! Your proposal has strings attached, no doubt?

Creative interpretation and artistically done, but...

Post-challenge edit:
Hmmm. In spite of the title, I felt it was shoehorned and I did not fully get the connection with dolls until I read the comment by Love6. That's what happens when I speed-vote, while attempting to do a decent amount of commenting at the same time. I take back my previous "but..." and exchange it for an "attaboy".
