I like it. A bit tongue-in-cheek, and well executed. :-)

Actually, I didn't see anything wrong wit the title here. It seemed feature photo-ish to me, so no need to work on the title.

I id have issues with the dark lighting on the child, but that would have been very hard to fix in-camera. Perhaps a bit of dodging would have helped some.

Over-all, I thought it was a nice photo and scored fairly well.

This was a really well done shot and I knew it was a contender for the ribbon. Such good use of framing to capture a facial expression that scream dedication. Great work and well deserved ribbon.

Really good work Eug. This is one of my absolute favorites in the challenge. Very well done shot. Ofcourse I showed you earlier the one little flaw I saw with it, but congrats on a ribbon on a very deserving photo.

::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
Strong image with nice color.

Composition:
I think it's strong and it works well for your subject.

Subject:
Stands out well against the yellow background. The comp colors works great.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color is great. Focus is sharp. However, I think the shadow is a bit harsh on the bottom side of the flower. A bit of softening of the shadow with a reflector IMO would help.

To grow its vote?:
Undoutably, and unfairly, you probably got popped a bit by those that don't like flower shots. Not a lot you can do about that. Overall, you did well in scoring though.

Summary:
Great photo for this challenge. It's colorful and rather lovely.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy

Well done, one of few so far that doesn't hurt my eyes ...

FWIW, I think you did a wonderful job at capturing the feel of Pods of Chance ... 10 from me. Higher if I could vote higher.
