Unexpected?

This photo looks grainy (like a polaroid or snapshoot). The starburst appears to be super imposed; and the contrast could be improved by using levels to make the darkest areas of the image darker. That would bring out more details in the fathers face and maybe help the image seem crisper. The DVD rack in the background distracts from the father and his baby.

You'll probably get a DQ for this. But even if not, I don't see how the effect filter would add to the image. Why not just use a tighter crop and/or a more interesting background?

I don't see what is unexpected about this photo. I suspect the filter you used is not legal in basic editing anyway and that this photo will be disqualified. I think the filter takes away from the photo.

Normally a border like this wouldn't be good, but I think it works for this photo.

hmmm.....why the dvds behind him? They are very offputting and ruin the "fatherly" moment for me. I don't really like the star effect edge much either. I do like the portrait of father and baby in the midst of it all though - a very gentle expression on his face and in his hand - it's a shame this isn't all there is to see in the picture as it would have scored much higher

Sorry, I don't get the added effect, it seems this fabulous moment in a father's life does not need tye-dye post processing added. Love the baby hair though.
