Hi Claude,
very interesting motive, it makes me a little sad but I like it. Nostalgic motive, thanks, very well done, greetings

Very interesting work.
Congratulations.

Old dolls like this make the spookiest subject for photos - and you have done an excellent job here of highlighting everything that makes them so eerie. The textures of the plastic, the warped eyes, the legless trunk - all executed in a fittingly green monochrome.
Outstanding depth of field.
Great work

Hello Claude!
Superb photo. A shiver with fear cross my back when I look its face ô_O
The greenish tone and the magnific sharp look great with the spooky doll mood.
Great work here!
Un saludo

That is one of the freekiest shots i've seen in a long time. It only would go well with the black and white composition. Well done.

Now this is really freaky. Well done. Good choice to present in the green monochrome. Excellent DOF.

Just the effect I wanted to achieve in a recent pic of mine, by means of Photoshop. May be I should bury my daughters dolly in the garden and dig it up 20 years from now.

TFS.

Regards, Kath

Hi Claude,
This is a great composition. Excellent POV.
Love the way you composed it. Sometimes the most simple images can be the most stunning. This photo proves that point. The mono colortone makes it very special. Well done.

Hi Claude,
looks a bid morbid, but its very well photgraphed. DOF and sharpness are excellent. The OOF BG and the tonal range add the mood.
Very well done.

Woah! Chucky peu aller se rhabiller! Ça c'est une vrai poupée Zombie! SI elle bouge ses restes de yeux et fait craquer la pourriture de son plastique sourire... L'enfant hurlera! Et les parents aussi! Car de ses cheveux s'envolent des micros guêpes de roches et de ses bras ténanisés, le pouvoir de raidir les muscles des fuyars à distance... Mais ce n'est rien... Quand le cocon sur son ventre libère le papillon de nuit qui vient receuillir ton âme... Le cri de ta bouche sera désormais silencieux....

C'est différent certe mais c'est une critique valable... Si elle inspire histoire aussi facilement... :)

Un peu flipante cette photo Claude, bravo.

Steph.

i like this dark erry mood claude :)
excellent choice of b/w to enhance the mood
good framing and composition :)

koh

Nice view and good choice colour... well done.

That is really one disturbing picture Claude! :o) Makes me think of the movie Bone Collector... Excellent choice of monochrome with a green tint!

Very macabre Claude. Strong and emotional with outstanding DOF and sharp textures. Excellent B&W photograph. A favorite!!!


Love and Peace Always

Hello Claude,
excellent..c'est horriblement beau comme image!

glauque à souhait, ton traitement convient parfaitement.

Raphaël

very creepy and nostalgic...reminds me of something i have seen in multiple horror movies...old dolls are always kind of scary for some reason if done right...peace***
