No matter how great your camera might be, it is how you apply your skills that makes the difference between an OK shot and a great shot. Here you can talk technical, talk creative, share your techniques, lighting, and digital editing. This is where we can all help each other to take better photos.
If you post a photo here and are looking for a critique, you should be prepared for honest criticism even if it hurts. It will only help to make us better photographers.
'There are some top-notch photographers here on the Doll Forum. I am not one of them. But I have some small skill in Photoshop, and I enjoy doing 'painted' portraits of my dolls. I'll share some of them from time to time, and before anyone complains the portraits are not realistic or misleading, they're just art, I'm not selling anything. I do these for my own enjoyment, it's something different, and just another way of having fun with my dolls. I'm happy to share what I do if anyone would like to learn how to do these. And of course everyone is welcome to contribute their own art.
OOooo, the third one is my favorite. She seems so relaxed and comfortable in your presence.

Beautifully done! I love the painterly elements mixed in with the high realism.
Is this photoshop painting or with oil/acrylic?
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed them. I will continue to post a few from time to time.
They are done within Photoshop, combined with some older Photoshop filters from Topaz. Wish I could actually paint them, but have zero talent in that direction, lol.
