I also love black/white and matching/opposite dolls. The black dress is very pretty on Cat Woman.

Thanks, all

I have a pink version of that black dress and it's so pretty too. I thought Catalina would look great in the black one. (yes, davidd, Catwoman) Both are dolls I didn't really ex/pect to get, so they were a real treat
"The Secret Garden" for this year's PUDDLE should've been right up my alley for photos, but nothing blooms here in time for an entry, and I spent much of last summer, when I did have flowers, in the house, thanks to the... "neighbourhood". The forsythia bloomed just in time, like the last 2 days one could enter, so I shot some pix of Cherie. It was a really difficult spot to work as there were only a few minutes when the sun was in the right spot in between the trees at the side of the yard.

But of course you can never shoot just one doll photo, right??

These needed a lot of work, as the light was really going.
Thanks for looking!

I agree, Cherie is pretty!
And you managed to keep her necklace chain hanging straight in every photo!
It appears the light cooperated long enough for you to get a number of nicely composed and illuminated images.
The one you selected for the contest is my favorite of the series, although the second one is very nice, as well.
I believe that in the "The Secret Garden" story, or at least the film version there-of (the old film version from the 1940s), the garden is initially a dismal, colorless, overgrown and hostile place.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

The garden shots are relaxing.

I told Alliecat that she could take depressing garden photos!

But the photos are beautiful.
