(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) I find the layout of this photograph to be very strong. The diagonal lines of the blocks leads the viewers eye directly to the face of the little girl. Even though her face is out of focus, it is very clearly the subject and very well done!

(2) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL The focus is very appropriate for this shot. The colors of the blocks really "pop". Good exposure and DOF. There is really nothing I would change about this this shot.

(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Your post processing is very good. Saturation is good, cropping is perfect.

(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge. I love the colors and the fact I feel that I can almost touch the blocks because their texture is so clear.

(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO The subject here is good. The way you executed it is very good. I love the texture of all of the separate objects. This is the sort of photograph that would look very nice hanging in a childs room, or maybe a pediatricians waiting room. It is very cheerful and bright.

I just realized that I did not give you any advice on how to improve your photograph. I guess this means that I see no area for improvement. Very well done!

This is fun!

your focus is on the ground and not on your subject.

Nice idea, beautifully executed. That baby's skin just glows! The composition is masterful, especially the way the baby's feet are not in line with the adult's. If they were, all the life would be leeched out of the photo. As they are, the subtle difference makes it live. I have to give it 10.

Very well done, nice exposure/lighting and focus. The only nit pick I have would be to have a bit more room in front of the babies toe.

This is incredible! Everything is great, the lighting, the colors, the background are all superb. A sure ribbon winner that stands out above all the rest in my book. The only thing I would remotely think about changing is to have left a bit more room in front of the baby's toes. It may be cropped a little too tight. Fantastic and good luck in the challenge!
