Absolutely - the processing is masterful! Can't wait to see what you do next!

Very nice, clean shot. The "toga" looks staged though, I think more natural clothing would improve the picture.

Nice use of shadows. One of the few photos I see that used shadows to set up the photo. I just bumped up your score while commenting.

Missing the foreground frame - background subject. But nice shot!

I don't believe that this is what the challenge demanded.

Toys to the Extreme

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: While your focus is nice and crisp on the driver's face, your depth of field choice looses some much needed detail in this image.

Lighting: Your lighting is very nice. Everythings seems evenly lit, and you lost no detail in your highlights or shadows.

Composition/Content: The composition you chose is the main strength of this image. The toy is up front in the viewer's face, but positioned very nicely to draw the eye deep into the frame and back to the fire.

My Opinion: I think this one is far superior to your original entry, as did the voters. I believe that it would be even better with a slightly deeper depth of field.
