an attractive subject is always good for the score :) A little shallower depth of field might have blurred the background more. I think I would have preferred a little more blur on the background and more light on her face (fill flash)

The DOF isn't shallow enough to make the subject really stand out. I am distracted by the woman and clothing in the background. If they were just a blur of colors, my full attention would be on this lovely lady.

Nice idea, I don't care to much for the b/g, maybe with more depth, it wouldn't have been so noticeable, 5.

A good concept, clean technicals.....IMO it lacks something that I cannot put my finger on.......strictly subjective.

The monster is cute, but I think he gets very lost in the other textured browns. I think the extreme brightness of the shovel and bucket really compound this issue and make me unsure of where to look in the photo. I like how you've attempted to capture the puppet's character by incorporating other props, but I think the photo would be better if there was less competition with the textured fur OR if there were not other bright spots so that attention could be drawn to the puppet's eyes.
