I like this shot a lot, and 5.9 is a really respectable score. Good job! Everything's clear and sharp, the baby's sweet, the yellow is bright and doesn't seem contrived like selective desats sometimes can.

This is a beautiful shot. It should have scored higher.

Simply a great shot that seems to have suffered with the dpc "we don't like shots featuring [insert topic of hate/contempt/whatever here]" syndrome.

Very nicely done. Great expression on the baby's face. Good tonal range, and appropriate use of desaturation.

I also like the sharpness of focus.

Suggestions for improvement? Tough one. When I first viewed the shot my eye was drawn to the hairband, so perhaps this is a minor distraction. Also, it's a pity the baby isn't looking towards the duck. She's looking out of the frame.

The only reason it didn't do better in the scoring was because some voters automatically vote babies 1,2 or 3 regardless of how good the shot is!

What a sweetheart. Adorable model, excellent subject that is easily relateable and grabs the viewer. The focus is excellent, lighting is very nice. The whites are a bit too white in the towel as some of the fluffiness is lost, but overall they are handled superbly. The duck gives just the right amount of shout to the image, keeps it from being a lovely but oft-done picture. 7
