I can see how the blur and the extreme contrast on the face could be appealing to many viewers. Unfortunately, I find them jarring. I'm not familiar with the fairy tale or folk tale you're referring to, but that's undoubtedly my problem and not a reason to downrate the photo.
I'm not familiar with this fairy tale or character but I like the composition and feeling of motion very much. The blur, curves, diagnals and position of the doll all help to give the feeling of whirl. I'm not crazy about the lighting, however, and feel that it could be softer and less contrasty. Also, would like to have seen some fill light on the subjects left side.
Lovely photo. I love the colors, the depth of field, the softness in the subject and the exposure. You're going to have to tell us when the challenge is over just what "Veinixienzia Ox" really means!
It's difficult to tell if you were going for soft focus, or if the image is just out of focus. It feels like the latter. I like the composition and feel. Also seems like the lighting might be a touch too strong, but well placed.
