---Greetings form the Critique Club!---

First impressions - I may not be a good one to critique this shot since I thought it should have won the blue ribbon. I even left a comment on your image after the voting that states just that.

Meets the challenge - I guess this is where you may have suffered a little in the voting. I feel it met the challenge just fine. Some voters probably wanted to see the shadow as more of the subject. Their loss.

Composition is flawless. The shadow leads the eye to the lovely child and the curtains take you around the rest of the photo. The white blown our area around the subject sets her off nicely and gives the sense of light bursting into the room along with the subject.

The only negative IMO is the wide border. I prefer smaller borders leaving more room for the image.

While a 6.5 score is nothing to sneeze at I thought this was a 7+ picture.

Great job. I hope this was somewhat helpful. It's hard to critique such a strong image!

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I like this photo. The one thing that could have made this even better would be to remove cup and bag in front of him.
