like someone quoted, the doll is shot like a person...the fly on the head just makes it more exquisite.

I went to John Shaw's seminar. Even though I don't do much of nature anymore, used to do landscapes many years ago, I was very impressed with his work and bought his book. Galen Rowell is another who's landscape work I admire. I believe he developed the Singh Ray filters. My mother-in-law was one of his agents and sold a bunch of his images. I got to look through a lot of his stuff that hadn't been published. His is a great loss to the landscape world of photography.
