While visiting a friend I noticed this doll (that her daughter had dropped there) on the brick steps out back. This will probably not be a very popular shot as it turned out rather more bizarre and spooky than I thought it would when I shot it.
RAW Adjustments: changes to tone comp. and white balance. Then in Paint Shop Pro it was cropped, curves and hue/sat adjustments applied, then run through Neat Image, then reduced in size and sharpened.
Shot with the 50mm F/1.8 lens.

looks like this doll has seen (no pun intended) better days. great color and texure rendition, as well as good subject choice. one of my favorites so far.
Maybe "once" beloved. I wonder if everyone turned their head to the left like me. Like the angled composition with the great colered brike background. Good luck with this broken doll.
Dolls generally creep me out and this one is no exception. Good shot, nice textures and colors, only thing bothering me is the cropping out of her foot
Composition: 7, not liking the cropping off of the leg. haven't you hurt this thing enough?? ;-)
Technical: 8, Good light and colors
Appeal: 7
Challenge: 7
Overall Calculated Average Score: 7, To go with the title, it would be better to have a child holding it. As it is, it looks like the child discarded it, in which case you could've called it "Unbeloved" ;-)
