Really like this. Not crazy about the borders, IMO. But I love the shot.

The hand and the angle of the fruit are great together to give this shot feeling. Seems a little soft though.. might be better if it was sharpened up a tad to really make those prickles stand out!

I think that the fruit?vegetable?thing? is lacking a bit of sharpness.
Still I like the concept

I think it's quite lovely, and like the high key/soft focus effect. Probably would have voted it a 7 or 8.

Regardless of scoring, this is one of those photos that will be treasured forever. Preserve it well, and pass it along.

The first thing that jumps out at me when viewing this is the babies face and hands. Second thing (just being honest) is the slight blurring and wishing it was a little cleaner focus-wise. That's the mentality that comes forth from spending too much time here at DPC. My wife would look at this and say "Ahhhh, it's wonderful!". Some of her favorite family photos aren't technically perfect, but they're perfect in her mind as they tell a story and enrich our memories.

It took me a minute to notice the wire in the photo. I also didn't notice the blacked out background until after reading the comments left by others. I like the wire, it adds context. As for the blacked out bg, hard to say without seeing the original whether it enhanced this image or not (for me personally).

Overall, an engaging photo quite worthy of sharing. I love being able to do that with Free Studies.

Smile and keep having fun! :D
