So I currently have this photo entered:

The Bald and the Beautiful:

I have some Alien Bees being delivered on Monday so there is a chance to shoot this with some decent lighting.

or I could enter this?

    I have to say that the 2nd Pic certainly gets the cute factor, I dont know if you can increase the DOF to get a little more hair in focus? (not all of the hair, just a little more)

    Out of the two pics, I prefer the 2nd.

    I am going with the first. The focus is on the hair and the lack of it.

    The 2nd shot is focused on the eye not the hair. Now, I know this is the correct thing to do with regard to portraits but I feel in this case, the focus should be on the hair to fit the theme.

    I'm with Mrs C (Mrs Q?) - the humour value in the first one is great too, plus it's extremely original!

    I agree with Tim.

    Talking about the first photo - did you try placing them a little closer to each other?
    - what about having each head on the exactly the 3-rd line of the space
    (I don't know how to say it - the rule of thirds...)

    Love the idea of the first one ! There something really good to get with these figures and that would really fit the theme !

    Ok I am still planning on attempting a reshoot of the second pic that I included in my first post but I had a few minutes the other evening to play around with the dolls again.

    Let me know what you think!
