No real doll was hurt or killed
This is a professional stunt doll that knows what she's doing.

Wow! :eek: . A very strong image, even if it is only of a doll. But very imaginitive. -Techo.

It drove my attention immediately a couple of days ago, and I didn't comment. Now again, I have to... technically great, but I don't like injured dolls... worse if it looks so real... just my opinion, anyway.

Compelling. I hate blood except in its proper place which is out of sight. The one eye is a key feature. Masterful. When are you being returned to high security detention? Seriously, this image probably will shock too much to pull votes. But it displays film making qualities. Its extreme........ Andy

Well, not every image can contain bunnies, balloons, or flowers. Mixed feedback on this: It generates an experience, generally the mark of an excellent image. That said, I didn't enjoy the experience. Will be interested to see feedback from the rest of the group...

Well, I was wrong on that. You're the artist, so you contol, of course, but I was curious so I popped a little curves...but it needs, IMHO, an upward pull...just slight, lightening the image....then both more doll-toy-like, but also more closely human. Hummm. I'm just having fun, Sergio. This is still an....arresting image...and I'm sure that you wrestled with all of this before posting...and I respect your judgment. Best Wishes, Traveller

Dear Sergio: Like you say, it's dirty work but someone had to do it. I like the one eye open, one closed, a sensual almost pleasant smile playing across the lips....But, but, but.... The image is startling enough that....High Key?....police blotter like?....the colors are too washed out for me. Of course, I'm big on super-saturated colors anyway...but I would prefer something a little darker, a pull down on the Curves graph. Best Wishes, Traveller
