Comment by Art Roflmao:
Composition: 7, not liking the cropping off of the leg. haven't you hurt this thing enough?? ;-)
Technical: 8, Good light and colors
Appeal: 7
Challenge: 7
Overall Calculated Average Score: 7, To go with the title, it would be better to have a child holding it. As it is, it looks like the child discarded it, in which case you could've called it "Unbeloved" ;-)

Almost really great! I would have preferred a lower angle. Also, the fact that just a tiny part of the doll (foot) is cropped seems unintentional.

I love these sorts of shots, this is very nice, even though this is something I would definately hang in my kitchen, I'm not feeling yellow in this photo, even though I still give it an 8, very nice.

This is lovely! The focus is tremendous and the colors are so rich. I personally would have preferred a closer crop on the bottom, but that's just a personal opinion. BOL :)

This still-life shows such perfect preparation, but it requires some time to appreciate. I confess that I almost passed over it in my "large challenge haze." I'm sure glad I stopped to look. Amazingly beautiful composition. My hat is off to you for creating and sharing this. It's one of my top picks for the challenge but I fear your wonderful entry will be lost in a stack of glitzy sharp peppers or flowers.

yum yum... I would have cropped it a little from blow.. not to see anymore the margin of the table (wood).. and have changed a little the point of view.. otherwise fine... 8
