The number one most important thing you could have done to improve this photo is to not have used a stuffed animal. Here's a quote from something Scalvert wrote awhile ago...

"Can you substitute a stuffed animal? Well, no. Unless you can fool everyone into thinking it's real, don't even try it. Toys usually fail because they scream "amateur." Look at past entries that scored in the 3.5-4.5 range and you'll find them filled with whatever objects the photographer found handy around the house. Voters recognize a lack of effort and the punishment is severe. "

Is that tru 100% of the time? Not necessarily. But given that this is a straight studio shot with nothing else to really pull the viewer in, I'm guessing that's where it failed.

Your entry is well-lit, has good detail and nice catchlights. The composition is fine, although turned a bit more towards the camera might have helped a little.

Assuming I've got the original right, I think this version is much improved. A much stronger, more solid composition with nice lines and definitately a better b/w conversion with more contrast. Perhaps a tiny bit too dark under the arches but that doesn't bother me at all. Nicely done.

I knew this was you before you posted in the forums...recognized you from your self portrait. :) I do think you've done much better than your original here. The lighting and overall clarity are much improved and the lack of green orb is nice, too. Nice small catchlights in your eyes. Good job.
