 Pretty much what the title says. Dolls given to me by my Mother, who is Japanese. My other idea was better, just not executed very well. I'm going with this one knowing that I probably shouldn't, but I wanna be in the mix.

AHHHHHH....this is just almost perfect.....the lighting is exquiste as is the shot but the little piece of the robe(?) sticking out on its own behind the doll on the right is distracting....perhaps a better angle on the right side doll might have helped? Excellent otherwise.

i think there is a bit too much negative space here. interesting choice of subject. i don't know if the all black backround is helping entirely either. the closer and longer i look, the more i am able to barely make out that there are folds in the velvet cloth they are standing on. until i saw this, which is not really apparant, it looked as though these dolls were just floating. i gave it a 7

Beautifully captured. However, your choice of subjects doesn't do much for me. A shame, as your lighting is wonderful. Perhaps a (subtle!) border would have helped... 7

Very nice job with the lighting on this image. One thing you may want to consider on an image like this is the visibility of the surface. Your dolls appear to be floating in space. Personally, I enjoy a bit of anchoring on an image like this with some visible surface :)
