More DOF would have made this meet the theme better, IMHO.

I think this would have been stronger with the head at a bit of an angle and not completely horizontal. Nice idea.

I wish for more focus on the blanket and maybe less on the child, because the blanket is suposed to be the hero in a textures challenge

This picture really drags you in and won't let go. The contrast of the blanket to the smooth face is good and the eyes have highlights that really lift them and grab the attention. The fuzzy bit at the bottom of the picture really gives a depth to the image. This is one of my top 5 favourites in this challenge.

Good mood - great use of muted colour, and you've captured a wistful moment well, and the catch-light in the eyes really lends some life to what might have been a rather drear scene without it. I do find the out-of-focus foreground area to be distracting - mainly because it seems to loom up into the image, rather than being a function of distance - don't get much sense of teh blanket receding into focus, if you follow me. texture? Good smoothness of skin, and a sense of softness and not or wiriness in the blanket. Borderline twee for me - I find that with a lot of child portraits, but excellently done.

+ Interesting pose and a lovely contrast between the fur of the blanket and the smooth skin of your subject. I like the colours as well.
- Can't really think of any.

The blanket is the source of texture and you can't really get a sense of it with the shallow dof..but what a great pic on it's own.
