Comment by jsabbarton:
This reminds me of an empty set on a children's TV show – that isn't a criticism by the way. I like the atmosphere created by the candles and the lighting and the feeling that there's nobody around to witness the scene. It has a lonely feel - almost like it's pretending to be happy. The angle is very clever – it creates the illusion of a stage curtain rather than household curtains and this adds to the surreal effect. I have to say, this is a great shot. I may not have interpreted this shot as you intended, but then I might :o) Sometimes the guessing is as much fun as the challenge itself… This picture has had me looking at it for ages, so, it has made me think… (10)

Looks a bit gloomy.

I think this could have been cropped tighter without losing the perspective that was so well captured here (from the child's point of view). Good idea.

Consider your title a little more. I think "Special Day" would work better than Zack's special day.

Birthday parties are a great memory of childhood for me :) I also like the angle you have presented here that looks like a small child's view :) Good work... - jmsetzler

Like the idea and low viewpoint and the candles have come out well. The background and right hand side are too dark and the tablecloth in the foreground.

I like the way you shot this from the perspective of a small child.
