First let me say she is incredibly cute!

It looks like her face is not 100% in focus...do you think it is?

Thanks! I think she is too! **proud mama smile** I dont know if it is or not, I have tired eyes. I just wish I could get cute photos with this toning on them all the time....but they seem to always happen by chance! LOL!

Good colors, lighting and contrast. I'd like to see a larger view. My tired eyes have trouble with little pixels too.

The top of her head being chopped off is not a plus and her expression seems a little distressed. The concept is grand, just need more of her with a face that tells.... something else.

No matter what her expression she can still melt my heart.

[WooD]

No way to critique this shot after looking into those beautiful blue eyes.

[Thinking_Mommy]

Yep, I always tell her that God gave her those eyes so she would be forgiven much easier. LOL!
Hubby is seriously considering bringing the Chastity Belt back in style for this one!
Let me post a link to a much larger photo, it looks in the larger like its more in focus...but yeah, losing the head sucks

Here are the others from the same series. Unfortunatly I dont know how to clone well yet and therefore there is a foot that is less than appealing in one photo.



And this one I dont know what happened...there is orange fringing on the doll head and her bangs look bizarre.....

I think the first one is the best - a shame you didn't manage to include the top of her head. If the original is fairly large, you could try trimming it so that you also crop off the top of the doll's head, which would look more natural.

You could even go for a square crop, turning necessity into a virtue and creating a feeling of being squeezed in close to your daughter (see below - I also applied some selective sharpening round her face).
