The first one is cute... until you look at the second and see that she has a fox wrapped around her head...

It would be cuter (#1) if she was looking at the bear instead of above it.

the concept of picture 1 is good but it doesn't work. I think there has to be some contact between her and the bear whether it is her starring at it or kissing it on the nose...up to your artistic endeavors

for the 2nd photo i cannot help but take my eyes from her face to the fox head on the bottom. Either cropping this to a landscape crop or shooting this photo without the fox head in the frame.

Overall i think your lighting is nice (watch out so you don't overexpose....your close to that limit) and her expression is good. Small little improvements to take the photo from good to stunning

thanks guys
cropped)

much better

Well done...I disagree with others as I feel the contemplative look off in the distance is far more effective than some simple interaction with the actual toy...a nostalgic smell from a childhood toy causing one to reflect...IMHO...Well done.

WOW!! What pop!!

Thanks for sharing..

#1 is unbelievably cute! I'm just thinking, wouldn't it be better is she were holding the bear in the palm of her hand, instead of the tip of hr fingers ?
