The Camera is ON our white kitchen table-top. I do like the perspective that this gives. I cropped the reflection at the top of the forehead due to the two pieces of table meeting in which a prominate line was distracting.
My daughter is sitting in her booster seat patiently waiting for her breakfast at the grown up table. Good behavior lasted about 10 seconds for this shoot.
I liked the B&W for this shot. I was tempted to kep the eyes in color but opted not to.
Hope it does well.

The initial impression is - very clever, a child's hands and a dolls head - then on another look, there is a different opinon - and a third and so on. A terrific composition which makes one wonder how it was done. The linear background shading is so subtle that one doesn't notice it on first viewing, or the second for that matter - it only appears on a third view, but that being said, it affects the image in a positive way - gives a sense of depth and dimension not often seen in grayscale images of this type - a deft touch with brightness and contrast is being demonstrated here. Very well done. Probably not to everyone's taste, it's still worthy of consideration for a high finish.
