I am not a fan of photos of "dolls", or toys or knicknacks, and do not care for that one. Not based on your photography skills, but on my own personal feelings.
The second one, though I find it to be just the tiniest bit creepy feeling, I find oddly compelling. I like the spot of color in the eye, and the reflection of the eye, I like the juxtaposition of textures between the water, face and fabric. As a whole, the image really grabs you.
I do not like that the composition in divided in halves. Though I agree that "rules" don't always apply, in this case, I think that I would prefer to see about 2/3 water, and 1/3 face/head. I think that just a bit more water in the shot would give the "underwater" feel a little more power.
Like everything dpc, opinions and personal preferences will vary greatly, and I hope that you are not offended. Simply wanted to tell you what I was thinking and feeling about the shots.
