Great material. I like the use of toys because they are in general so colorful. You have everything placed nicely to convey a good use of the frame. The sharpness is also good. Just curious if you tried using any small model subjects? I think there is a certain life missing from the photo that would have helped with a little tyke. However, this is just a personal preference since I love shooting people :) It is a nice capture, colors pop and is a good product placement shot. I think as far as voting, I think the wrinkled curtain may have been the only thing that hurt. A terrific idea for the challenge.

Concept was nice... but I didn't particularly like the composition. The picture quality is bad... probably because of jpeg compression

Comment by fantomas:
there seems to be a general theme of shooting things you love without actually expressing the theme of love itself

so to me.. a shot that does not show love is not a love shot and therefore doesn't meet the criteria

Very noisy. Try a different ISO speed and different light.

Nicely lit, sharp, and very colorful. And it's a challenge about school, so I think kids' toys fit just fine!

One thing to watch for is sharp reflections of lights. Try putting a piece of tissue paper over the light (I use a piece that came in a gift bag). That'll turn it into a fuzzy bright spot.

I'm betting this will do really well as a stock shot - it's clean, simple, sharp and colorful. And to submit to stock you can edit out whatever you want!
