Interesting. I love the fact that someone else still works with a 300D.
Its a great camera. Which lens?

Its got a very moody, almost angry, feel with the high contrast lighting
and the dolls expression. Its not far from a style we've been employing
for portraits lately. High key, high contrast lighting strong from one
side. We use a darker background, and I do like the effect overall. For
example http://www.albany.edu/transfer_students/dallaird_courtney.jpg

I noticed what looked like an aperture reflection in the shot. Looks
like a double pentagram on the right, just before the shadow. Was that
intentional? Since you're retouching, you must have left in intentionally.
