Hi there, what's your name?
Like it, the composition though could be a bit better imho, (the cutoff head)
allthough I like it how it's sitting at that sewers thing (don't know how you call em)

Another exorcist baby. Eeeek!

Nice technique, but I would have preferred if the whole head were in the frame.

Shutter speed seems a little slow, and the boxy dimensions does not fit the composition very well. Depth of field is nice.

Oh my God! It's looking right at me! Good find, composition and if there was a creppy category you would get 5 for that.

Chucky! Jeez. Broken dolls are disturbing. The eye stands out nicely and the twisted neck adds to that disturbing feel.

I love everything about this - deeply disturbing though, which is one of the things I like...

Love the idea. A photograph which poses questions; who's doll?, why dirty? etc...

OK this one creeps me out, that said, it hits the mark on all counts so even though I wouldn't want to hang it on my wall it gets 25 from me.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I usually don't take pictures of creepy things like this, but it was really hard to resist when the girl propped it up in this sort of lifelike position. It's actually the mouth that creeps me out, as that one feature makes it seem more alive somehow.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought "not another broken doll shot!"...but now that it is opened up, I have to say I like it. The combination of that piercing eye, and the mud, and it being perched on the edge of what looks like a man-hole, as though looking back for one last appeal to the world before flinging himself in...yup, its a great shot!
