Alone

I swear, if I had a couple of beers before I voted I would find this a little disturbing... lol! Thats not to say it's not intriguing. On the contrary, I can't seem to stop looking at it. I love the fish-eye approach, the higher angle, the setup, the shot, the title. If anything, I think you have captured 'alone' in three ways: the desolate background, the bunny, and your main subject. There are two slight things that deter me from shouting brilliance though. 1. It doesnt portray this particular challenge (toys) a 100% for me, and thats to say in essence. If this was for a dream challenge or something, I wouldve yielded. And no 2: I think you couldve cropped a tad off the right for balance. Great shot!!

I like this. Its simple, yet there's more than enough to hold me to this picture. Nice DOF! Good luck with the next challenge!

Mmmhh... this shot seems to be technically sound, yet I really fail to see the toy element. Maybe I have just never seen a toy like this before. If it's similar to building blocks, I think this pic lacks that 'fun' element a little bit. Still, it's probably because i'm unfamiliar with the toy. Good shot nonetheless!

Cheetah: Loyal Friend

Okay. First off, I love the backlighting and positioning of your doll in the overall composition. Your title amuse me: "Cheetah" ? Is this/was a cheetah? Or is it a monkey and its name is Cheetah? I think what also appeals to me is the fact that "cheetah" is so worn at the bottom, yet still remains a loyal friend. Instead of placing him in a sad/depressed setting like most ppl did, you chose a more happy approach, the kind that says: "I'll always be your mate no matter what" Well done on a great shot. It may be plain and simple to the naked eye, but I like whats lying underneath.

I dont know if it was your intention to portray the puppet in the foreground as a spectator but that is how I see it. Well done on a great idea and execution. One thing, if the puppet was indeed placed for such a purpose, I think you could have done without the strings. Apart from that little niggle, well done! :)

Pedal to the...

Nice idea! I think the foot is a little too high up in the pic for my liking though. Try cropping it a little bit under the foot and see if it doesn't give you more attention to your subject (in this case, the foot on the pedal) I think there is still enough of the wheel left to discern what's going on. Anyhow, great shot nonetheless! Good luck with the next challenge!

When I first saw this challenge description I figured I would see one of these along the way. :) I like the crop, the tear, and the blue background which kind of lends to the sullen/sad mood you have intended. Overall, good shot and great capture!

Bear's. :) I like the setting you have created here - adding a bit of a story to an inaminate object. The lighting works for me. Nice! Good luck with the next challenge!

Nice angle, nice mood. I'm not sure if the cropped off head is bothering me a little, but overall very good shot.

I like the DOF on this shot, but also overall. I think on its own the image might struggle if not placed in context, but thats not what this is about. Well done on a nice image and great idea.
