A very lovely composition. The tan of the wooden mannequin starkly contrasts the colorful dinosaurs in the background. The shadows of the head bring the eye from the top corner to the bottom corner, following the contour of the wood. The very subtle texture of the sanded wood gives it a soft feeling, in contrast to the harsh colors behind him.

It almost looks as though the mannequin is looking away from the dinosaurs as they turn their gaze to him, with that single red eye standing out.

My only thought might be to have it turned 90 degrees, so the mannequin is right-side up. The use of depth of field is good, but the perspective may throw observers off.

Wow! Thank you for the full-depth-analysis of my photograph. There is only one problem with it though. The mannequin is actually on its side, as if (right before) the picture was taken, he laid out in front to steal the dinosaurs' thunder. Thank you for the suggestion and taking the time to look at my work.

oh i like. it gives me the feel of a small boy being inquisitive and nosy looking into the camera as u shoot the pic. the dinosaur toys in the backround is what gives me this story, and i can almost even see a face on the mannequin. +fav for sure.
