First Challenge: Who am I?

I love how each doll is different - it's going to be hard to judge!

Lots of cute photos! True, is Clemency just playing with dolls or are those specific characters that I don't recognize?

Aside from the Pixar characters behind her, the dolls are all things I've kept from my childhood. So she is just playing with dolls my dolls used to play with 45 years ago!

Agree, everyone did a really good job. Glad I don't have to pick one! And it's nice to see so many entries.

I'm working hard on judging this difficult round! But in the meantime, a quick comment on each entry:

jahzteen - I like how realistic this looks, like you caught her off guard taking a photo, with all the cute little touches around

s1dthesqu1d - such a sweet photo - surrounded by friends and pets - it's not all about her!

Alliecat - I like the mystery of this one - how does she see herself? Apart from others? Wanting to be older? Lots of unanswered questions!

vertefae - the lunchbox, the toys, the dress - so many great touches to show off her passion! (I'd like to see a full shot of that dress!)

NatTheCat - I like the contrast between the two dolls; the Pullip seems so confident and assured, and your Dal seems a little shy and hesitant

dargosmydaddy - the thing that impresses me most about this photo is that splash of color that draws the eye, surrounded by whites, greys, and blacks

Marsian - I like how intent the Dal seems - you really caught her at an angle where she seems engrossed - plus the discarded sheets on the floor (and the PUDDLE art on the wall!)

Offgenemi - this is a beautiful shot, with the dappled shade and sun in the background

CornflowerBlue - I like the feel of hanging out with a friend, and that shag carpet, OMG takes me back to my childhood; I also like that HoHo is wearing her weird hair accessory thing

GreysPrincess - good job catching her staring dreamily into the distance, and I like the way her tights echo the green leaves

The_amphibian - my favorite part of this pretty photo is how she lightly strokes her cat while she reads

kyubi09 - she seems both proud of her work and irritated at being interrupted (and the art is really beautiful!)

Severity - wow, all the cute details, and I like how she is staring right at us! she definitely looks like she is in her comfy space

babelglyph - such a cute angle, and I like how the light reflects off her face

Great job, everyone - thanks for submitting such a great variety of photos!

I would never be able to pick a favorite! Every picture shows such unique personality!

I thought there might some significance to the little figures and I didn't recognize them as anything recent.

Thank you! My original title was going to be something along the lines of "sister, friend, girlfriend, nature lover" but we couldn't use words ^^' I really wanted it to seem like one of those early 2000's movies about a girl next door who goes on an adventure with her friends, I hope it kinda portrays that

It does!

Sorry for the judging delay! I've had a crazy week and I want to take my time. I'll announce the first round challenge winner Saturday.

And the first round challenge winner is - Ronjwen and jahzteen! Congratulations!

This was really tough to judge - I used a point scoring system and I had five photos in second place.

The winners will receive a dress from sewgrandmacathy, some PUDDLE souvenirs, a pair of Dal panties from TreesMonsterWar, and a set of Rement.
