I'd rate it higher if it were easier to tell the slingshot and the other stick item (fishing gear?) apart. See What little girls are made of for an example that's similar to yours that I liked quite a bit better. I like your idea here though.

Comment by Swashbuckler:
Looks like my style of toys! I think the background does not offer enough contrast to the subjects. The compass is interestingly broken, I would have liked it to have a more promemant position. 8 Swash

Comment by DougPaz:
Good idea, but a little too busy and has a constructed feel to it.

Comment by Journey:
This is a pleasant, subdued image yet it does not speak to me of childhood. Other than the knife, the objects I see displayed speak more to me of an older person. However, I may be dead wrong and besides I don't take points off for not meeting the bloody challenge. I said the image is subdued and yet I would have liked to see some more contrast, perhaps in the shape and color of the sticks (or whatever they are), and the color of the background and most of the objects. It lacks that Ooompf element. My comment very much reflects my own taste. 6 Journey

I really like the detail in the hand - Hey I can even see the grime under the nail ;)
I also like that there is no desk showing - that it's close enough in that the exam paper makes the whole of the background and yet it's actually foreground at the same time! Also like the way the (2) on the pencil is so carefully positioned.
