Meeting the Challenge: Does this very well.

Composition: Might have been a little more interesting if Waldo had been a little over to the left, to use the rule of thirds. The fairly neutral background is nice. Might have used a few more stuffed animals to cover up the blanket, but that's not a big deal. Variety of colors and textures adds to the photo. You might have wanted to rotate it a bit, so the top of the bed was a bit more even. It seems that most of the animals are leaning in towards the subject, which helps lead the eye to 'waldo'.

Technical Quality: As I said below, wish this photo was a bit more bright. The lighting being soft is nice and goes well with the subject. No major post processing problems noted, except above about the rotation.

Creativity: Well, we saw lots of stuffed animals in this challenge, and even though they were common, each one was unique.

Conclusion: Meets the challenge well, is very cute, could have had a little composition and lighting improvement.

Hope this helps, feel free to email if you have questions or comments.

The shallow DOF works well. I think it's cropped a little too close at the top. Focus on the fork is wonderful but I wish I could see more detail in the pineapple. Well done on a nice shot though.

Two things work really well for this photo. Point of View and the great texture at the base of the tree. I'm glad to see you cropped the picture because I'm sure the composition presented here is better because it allows viewers to finish the image of the tree. This shot is very over used, but it is probably one of the better ones I've seen. Good Job, John Gill. Ps. I understand the problems with the weather, I waited 3 days to get the kind of lighting I wanted and finally gave up. But it does make a difference.

This is really interesting. I love the sharpness of the fork going into the sofness of the pineapple. The DOF is excellent here and the composition couldn't be better. you did well with this one, congratulations!

The cropping seems too tight. And what is that black thing outside the case on the left?
