Seldom does an image attract my attention because of the printing. However, this image did just that.
I can only use one word to describe it, rich. There are such a variety of tones on the walls and the differences are subtle but noticeable. Even on this outdated and uncalibrated monitor and after it was scanned it is a beautiful image.
Printing alone however, will not inspire me to comment. The image is very simple by itself being a lone little girl seemingly propped up in the corner. Her clothing is formal, but still it is simple. The marvelous printing of this image brings to life the patterns in her dress, making it almost a visual feast. Yet the dress is simple. It is a one piece garment that buttons down the middle.
The doll metaphor alluded to in the title is unmistakable and obvious. The girl?s pose, easily changed clothing and gaze away from the camera, simulating the blank stares from dolls, reinforce this idea. However, there is life in those eyes and joy in her smile. This image gives off a great deal of warmth.
This little girl obviously is enjoying the attention she is receiving from the camera. She is posing in a silly way for her and it seems as though she is trying very hard not to giggle. Like a doll she was dressed up for the occasion. Her natural charm and innocence has attracted the attention of the camera and she glows in the spotlight. Like the rag doll alluded to in the title she was posed for this image, but unlike a lifeless doll, she brings life to the image. The photographer may have posed her, but this is truly the little girl?s image.
A small technical note based upon my own personal preface, the feet at the bottom of the image feel a bit crowded.

As always, beautiful work. I like the tones here and the composition is wonderful. The catchlights in her eyes, and the shine on her boots...great.
