"I've slowly come to accept I lack artistic creativity, strong compositional skills, and processing insights - the ability to see what a picture can become through processing."
Hmmm. I would suspect that this image proves you wrong on all counts (not that at least 100 others you have wouldn't either) at least with regard to DPC friendly images. And, with a doll image no less! Your processing and composition are excellent and your lighting proves your artistic creativity. Now you can stop underestimating yourself.

wow, what a great idea using a b/w layer with blue filter!! congrats on your ribbon, this is spectacular for the theme. i have a fear of dolls, puppets, etc. mostly because of the frozen-in-time stares, always have, but this is so well deserving of it's ribbon!

Wow, congratulations! The thing that makes this shot in my opinion is the way you've positioned it in the window light. It looks very natural and lends softness and realism to it.
