Nice capture of color but a tad too dark.

very nice work with the shallow DOF but was hoping to see a real baby in this photo. Not easy to come by though. :)

A really nice macro but hardly see any effects of a shallow DOF. e.g bokeh or some portion which is much out of focus.

Very nice lighting and composition. Perhaps just a tad oversharpened though.

Thanks for all the comments and votes :)

This was sort of like a lightbulb went on idea, but spur of the moment.
Shot just a few hours before the challenge deadline. A few things I would've liked to do better, get enough DOF so the stem appeared even sharper enough but still keep the tangerines behind in an OOF state. I would think their imperfections would be more of a hinder and since spot editing is not allowed you get my point ;) same goes with the blown highlight of the light reflecting off one of the tangerines. My hands where just itching to clone that out. Use of a different light source would've been better but not handy at the moment. Also.. yes the bit of green visible was left there on purpose. I would really like to reshoot this image with some of the suggestions put into place. This was a really fun challenge. Thanks again, everyone.

A nice idea but was hoping the clothing color would match the sky color a bit better.

Another really great example of Nature's camo at it's best.
