Nicely composed image, though I personally would have some more sympathy for a teddy bear ;)

The careful placement of the doll doesn't make the story ring true to me, but it certainly makes for good lighting and composition.

I love the high key shine and all the shades of gray-thru-silver. perhaps the picture cries out for an area of pure black, for balance. I like the pose of the doll, too.

Hey Marge. Didn't get to vote this, actually, but I would've given it an 8. It's very well done, IMO.
Again, I'd've gone for a tighter vertical crop for this, drastically lessening the black negative space and and giving the viewer that almost "claustrophobic" feel.
But that's just me.;p

Hey Margie, great job. A 6+ and a top 20 (almost a top 10!). You even got a comment from Mr.Cuesta. Ah, envy.
Didn't get a 1. Now that's rare.
The skin texture and the expression did wonders for the shot. So is the slight (intentional) under-exposure.
Congratulations on your PB. You did well, ma'am.

Wa-hey... why the low score? I just don't get people... this was one of your best shots, maybe even the best.
The water's mid-air freeze and your kid's expression made this shot, IMO. Nice vibrant colours, too.
Should've scored higher.
Personally, I'd go for a tighter, vertical crop -- cutting off the hose and some of your girl's body. A little sharpening would've helped, too, I guess.
A nice photo, all in all.
