Ooo...very nice. I can see why they call you moodville. Definitely can create a mood. I love the shade of the ground you got.

This is a great shot...the composition appears to be almost perfect. It makes one feel like a little girl or boy is out there without their teddybear....8

true feelings felt of being forgotten...perhaps the bear could have been laying on it's side, as if it had been dropped by a child and left behind.
Nice pic...very soft stairs, walls, ground, bear.

The softness works for this to remind me that it was a child that lost his/her fav buddy. Also like the color. Composition excellent. The only thing on the dreaded negative side is the placement of the bear. I think it would look more lonely if it wasn't so perfectly upright and perfectly againt the wall.

Steps provide a real feeling of "leaving". I like it.

Wonderful image. Captures the challenge essence very well. I love the black&white aspect of it. The lighting is great the subject is perfect. I think the soft focus helps to enhance the lost feeling. I really like how this photo draws me in and immediately has an emotional impact. Very nicely done. 10

The slightly soft focus gives this a dreamy type feeling. Definitely gives off the feeling of "alone". It's like a little girl left the bear behind. Good lighting and great contrast. Framing works well. "10"

The dark stairs and concrete wall make the bear sem lonelier than might otherwise be the case. Nice setup.

Awww, I tried some shots like this for the challenge but changed my idea. Poor wee teddy bear!

Good image. B&W works well here.

You know aside from the fact that this is a very good photo as is....it also happens to be a very good photo of a subject matter (forgotten toy) a lot of people have tried and not done nearly as well at, for this challenge. Great light and colour choice. The black part of the border IMO is a tad wide, but I'm just nit picking now. Good job!

haha nice. that looks so familiar........

Wow. I love this picture. perfect in every way. How sad and lonely that little bear looks. Placing him away from the steps emphasizes it even more. The lighting is perfect. The B&W is perfect. The grainy effect is perfect. My favorite of the challenge and one of my favorites on the site. Period! Thank you for sharing such mood and artistry. 10
