I love that doll! The crochet hat is adorable, did it come with the doll or did you make it? I thought the photographs were bright and crisp. The detail of the freckles told a story to me.
I know a few doll collectors, and I have to agree this is a nice doll, and it's nice to know I wasn't the only person to choose such subject matter, even if mine was the polar opposite of this.
These are all nice clean shots, but they all seem to have that dead center look about them. The most interesting one here in 'Picture 3" mainly because it's not centered and has a nice angle to it. I also like "picture 7" because it actually lends itself to being centered, as it is a very symmetrical shot and is well framed.
I has found that unless you are going for symmetry then it is always a good practice to place things in the thirds of the frame. What I mean by that is divide the frame into three parts side to side and three parts up and down, and then align what you feel should be the focus point at one of the intersections. I think you'll see that by doing so you will add a lot more intrigue and motion to your shots, and they will look less static and posed, even if they are static and posed. -J
