Hi Dollobservers,
The theme for May is classic 'Monochrome', in all shades of black white and grey. Your dolls must be dressed for the theme or posed in a monochrome setting. Please note: photos turned into black and white by computer wizardry will not be accepted :)
Add your 'Monochrome' themed doll pics to this discussion using the 'image' icon on the far left of the discussion tool bar.
The 'rules' of the theme photo competition are very simple:
Remember the Prize now stands at a whopping $50!

Here is my entry:
"Twice as Nice"
They say that an encounter with your doppelgänger is an ill omen. Perhaps even a portent of death. The idea of a "double walker" has been explored in many works of literature, theatre and cinema. A recent example is the film "Black Swan", in which Natalie Portman's character sees her doppelgänger on several occasions, particularly when she is feeling insecure.
In my photo, we see two Barbie® dolls with the "Diva" face mold, both sharply dressed in black-and-white structured suits. They run into each other at the lobby of an elegant boutique hotel, and for a moment, they appraise each other.
superbe, is it a real diorama? (photoshoped?) nicely done

doing a diorama, but I decided on using these dolls, which cannot stand on their own. I don't like seeing the doll stands in the photos, so it had to be done with Photoshop.

Amazing photo, Jared. I like what you've done with the "mirror image" on the B/W suits, bags, and sunglasses on the dolls and also the way the photo is framed in the doorway-- cool effect!
it is very effective anyway! very dramatic !
