I find this shot a bit overcrowded.

Quite a good go at shooting a scene which includes a light source: the balance between that and the ambient light is quite good. That interaction of different colour temperatures allows us to see the textures, without losing detail.

Not all that bad, think it could be nicer minus the light

This is a nicely photographed shot, I think. I like the colors, the lighting and the textures. Not a real "wow" factor to it, but well done.

A little more light on the potpourri would have made this shot stronger. The flame "steals" the attention of the picture.

More light on the subjedt would help prevent the candle from being so bright.

Great minds think alike? I almost did the PS2 controller. Nice composition (a little busy maybe) and a darker background (though harder to shoot) would make for some nice shadings!

Upon first seeing this photo I thought it was pretty good but did nothing for me as far as meeting the challenge. I don't have kids, so the thought of letting go didn't occur to me right away. I've looked at this 3 times and now I get it. I hope others will too as it is a very well done photo. SCORE: 7 Well done and good luck!
