it's in the eyes.

here's a tip: make sure the eyes are in focus. even in this little toy giraffe, the photo doesn't work unless the eyes are in focus. I took 5 or 6 frames of this little guy and this was the only one that had the eyes in focus because the depth of field is so shallow. This means that only about a 1/4 inch sliver is in focus, then it goes out of focus extremely quick. I love the look, but its a bitch to get something in focus accurately without using a tripod.
