Very creative idea. I think I would have liked it better with the top part of the doll in front not in the picture. the suggestive nature of your picture would have worked very well with the subject placed in the lower right corner with alot of negative space but I like your concept very much.

Interesting concept and thought. Most would just photograph someone in a tight spot... this is imaginative, bright and conveys the message well.

I like the idea - very clever. However, I would have put the out-of- focus doll in the background. She takes up too much of the pic to be so soft.

Very creative thinking. The eyes of the smaller doll just visible above the brim of its container conveys a slight discomfort. The bigger doll in the foreground, though perhaps necessary to balance the elements, distracts too much from the meaning of the picture.

Too nice and pleasant. Doesn't "Try to make the viewer feel the emotion of the fear."

Cute, simple, and effective. Just wish for more DOF as the foreground doll is a major element that begs for more focus.

I think it would've been more effective as something relating to being watched. Well put together though.

Humorous. Good DOF and composition. Very original take on the challenge.

Interesting take on the challenge. I like the eyes peering out of the larger matreshka (sp?) doll. The upper half in the foreground helps to clarify what the focal point is; without this it would have taken me longer to identify what I was looking at. The overlap between the doll in the foreground and the one in the back feels somewhat claustrophobic. This may or may not be intentional, but moving the foreground doll to the right would reduce the effect. The pure white background seems a little overbearing; I would have preferred a light shade of grey.
