Comment by Teafran:
More of a lighted shot than a creative use of lighting, this image falls short of meeting the challenge criteria in several ways. While a good image, the author might have chosen to use the available lighting to create an effect rather than just a image that is actually of snapshot quality. A little more thought would have helped as there are possibilities in this image such as a macro which would not only have met the criteria, but have placed high.

Cute kid, great detail, I just wish that octagon was not such an eye draw ... I guess I'd move farther to avoid it.

ahhh shoot - i was gonna leave a comment during the challenge. I gave this a 7. I love the scene - with the crayons in the foreground and the action happening in the background. Perfect lighting for this as well.

Thanks to the commenters! The below average score is a tough pill to swallow. I didn't expect to be the only BW in the challenge!
