Greetings from the CC!

RESPECT OF THEME: not sure..... I don't know what that wooden contraption is??? Is it for letters?? IMO you're borderline with respect to the theme. :)

LIGHTING & COLOR: Both spot on! Good job. Especially the lighting on Gumbie's face.

FOCUS: Also very good.

COMPOSITION: 1st off your photo made me smile.:-) What bugs me are the 2 different tones of wood in the BG. And the grain not going the the same direction. My eye looses the focus on the subject somewhat. The shadow areas are nice and the chosen angle of the "thingamabob" isn't distracting.

I gave you a 6 as I fing this to be a photo just a little bit aboce average.

Yanik :o)

Nice capture. Light seems slightly harsh. Colors all go nicely together. Super composition.

Great stop action. Not sure I like the lighting. It seems very unnatural.
