Most great, I see three issues that I don't care for in order of badness. Showing this much of the pepper w/o the bend of the stem (cropped at the top too much), don't know why, but the top of the pepper seems softly focused, could be from the reflection and finally, it's really a nit, but the bottom of the pepper is barely obscurred, I want to see the whole pepper. More follage might have been nice. 8 Swash

Comment by just-married:
I think the composition was the thing that worked least for me in this photo. If you were trying to emphasize "toys" I think organizing them differently or selecting just a few would create a more interesting photo. If you are trying to emphasize "messy", I think a bigger mess and a more zoomed out approach would have been more successful. The corner lines distract me, and the glare from the flash adds to the snapshot quality. 2, just-married

Great depiction of childhood. Playtime. The angle is good and the lighting is great. no strange glares, bright spots, or shadows. I like how it's not really a set up shot of childhood, rather a candid one, but I don't know how many people will go for that. They don't seem to go for candid on this site. I am scared at how the "candid" challenge is going to go. lol Great shot and good luck in the challenge.

I understand your 'theme' on this photo quite well... As I look at some of the items in this image, I wonder if you could have taken that troll in the lingere and made some really cool photogrpah of just that :)) Good shot :) - jmsetzler

A good depiction of childhood, but as a photo I find it too cluttered.

Cluttered, but a good shot. No ideas what to do to "improve" this shot. It is what it is. A triffle dark....maybe a few too many elements, but if messy is what you wanted, this is it! 8 Swash
