Nice composition and timing. I love the shape of the melting snow complementing the leg.
Great Shot.

Scary image, looks like a scene from "Chucky", or whatever that doll movie is. You got the paddle, the doll part, and an image of the remains of the doll frozen in time, until it comes to life in the sequel. Great shot! - Tom

Excellent composition. The doll leg gives an almost sureal quality. Very nice work,
Richard.

Claudio,
Thanks for the comments. This is one of those images that just calls out and creates itself. I was walking through an abandoned lot, where I took the shot of the bricks and nearly stepped on this. The pieces are exactly how I found them.

Ohhh, I like this one. In particular how the various shapes are defined .. Initially I thought I was looking at the body of the doll as well, only to discover it's a patch of snow. In think we are so pre-programmed in our reactions to baby forms, that images like this, and the other one from Sergio some time ago, makes us really react strong for their symbolical meaning... It reminded me of this story that happened in Milan some time go while I was visiting http://www.iht.com/articles/519009.html )
