Bought the dolls and originally shot this at the park between some rocks as the valley with a bunch of pills laying around the dolls. But just didn't look right. This is in a drainage trench at the edge of my yard. Just threw the dolls in a heap and shot. Sort of liked this - made me laugh as soon as I saw it. So...here it is.
My original idea was "Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your golden hair!" But I just couldn't get a tower to look right. Then the hair I had wouldn't cooperate (doll hair from the craft store). Just a prop nightmare so ditched that and went with this.

The dolls are too clean and dry - it is too obvious that they were piled there just a moment ago. Might have been nice to have some of them peeking from around the corner or from underneath the grass. 5
