Post challenge:

Thank you all SO much for the lovely comments! I am SO excited to make top 20!!! yayyyy!!!

This is my son, Griffin, in a wig and a lot of makeup.

I thought it would be an interesting idea to shoot an expressionless stitched together doll but the human element is always missing when I try. So, I decided to add a human and take away the toy all together.

The wig was a necessity because otherwise he would have just looked like a guy in makeup ;) hehehehehe

Very nice. A little snoot for backlight would have made this pop even stronger, I think. But in front, excellent subtle light.

I think this is a great concept and I love it all except the extension of the lips. Could have been a 10 without that.

Lot's of potential here, however, I find the clownish makeup and crazy hair a bit unnecessary.

Adorable person, love the dramatic hair and lips. I think you could have done without the black makeup. Perfect lighting. Nice catch lights in those blue eyes!
