Hello there =]. These look pretty cool. But they're a bit pixely if you ask me. I don't know if that was an effect you used..? Also, the bigger thing i saw with these. They're huge!!! If you could change the size of them that would do reviewers in the future loaads of good. =]]

Thanks for your comment :] I agree they are pretty huge, its just the settings on my computer, they're a nightmare xD When they are smaller they look better :]

If anyone wants to view them in a bit smaller format I re-sized them so I could give a better review:

Hi Megan! I see you're pretty new to the site. How do you like it so far?

I cannot stress the importance of making your images smaller before you put them up enough. This lets people know you spent a bit more time on your photo's and even if it was just a few seconds it will make people more willing to review your work because they will feel like you care more about your work. Now, I know you care about your work, but when images are easier to view it makes it seem like you care now. Reviewers can also review better if they can see the full image without having to scroll back and forth on their computer screen. Here is the easiest way to re-size your image:

Alright, now to the actual photos!

I can't really give an over-all on your photography style because these are only two of your photos; but I will evaluate each one individually.

1. My first question when I saw this was if you messed with the quality of the photo. Did you make the little lines that go across it or is this your original image? Also, what camera did you use to take this photo? (Actually, though I know it is off subject, it is nice to say what camera you used and what program you used to edit your photos for reviewers. That way they know what is going on. Of course this isn't required or completely necessary.) I really liked this photo, but I think you could have played with the angles more to try to get more emotion out of the doll's eyes.

2. The biggest problem with this is the distracting light at the bottom of the photo. I'm not sure how you got this. Was it from the flash? However the way it would look much better if you cropped the bottom part of this off. That way you will still get the lighting effect on the face, but that won't be the focus of the photo. Right now it is taking all the attention of the doll which is the subject.

Do you see the difference?

Besides that I think these photos are great. I can't wait to see more of you around the site! If you have any questions just P.M. me!

Hope I helped,
