AHHHHHH....this is just almost perfect.....the lighting is exquiste as is the shot but the little piece of the robe(?) sticking out on its own behind the doll on the right is distracting....perhaps a better angle on the right side doll might have helped? Excellent otherwise.

I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe it's the black on the chin and the lower left part of the skull, it might be the effects on the shot itself or the angle, I can't really explain it. I will come back again and try to figure it out but for now a 5
