it's a cool shot, could use a bit different method of toning with a higher contrast, maybe. Your numeric score doesn't tell the tale--it just was a low scoring challenge. 57th of 235 is not a bad result!

What a ton of personality expressed through your shot! One of the best baby photos I've seen on this site.

One would have always have to try very hard in order to ribbon on a free study, but people freely give good scores in them in comparison to one of the themed challenges. scarbrd's photo has more eye appeal because of both the angle at which it was taken (eliminating uninteresting background) and the visual "pop" of his post-processing. Wonderful concept and awwww-factor!

and then a step to the riiiiight. I really liked this image, imagine on monitors that aren't calibrated it might have appeared too dark.
