Is it a bit out of focus?

This type of subject needs absolute sharpness, you're a little blurry here.

Comment by ShutterPug:
focus needs to be sharper, and maybe shoot from a different angle than profile. Would have been nice to see some light refractions off the glass.

I like the photo, but my one problem is that I can't really tell where the focus is. I would have given it a higher rating otherwise.

Comment by dewed:
a little flat, IMHO. There is no ultimate white.....a bit more contrast?

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: I think that the biggest issue here is the focus that looks too soft. I can see that the toys are indeed in focus, but the haze persists. I think that a slight levels adjustment and an s-curve adjustment to a curves layer would have helped this one tremendously.

Lighting: While not bad overall, it seems a little more harsh on the right side. Shifting your light source, or better yet, adding another light from the left would have also helped.

Composition/Content: Great composition and nice, colorful content. The only change I think that I'd make it so shift the content down a bit so that Mickey's ear isn't so close to the top of the frame.

My Opinion: You met the challenge, and did so without using the typical 'fruit & flowers' type of composition. Making the image a little more crisp and moving the content down a bit would have surely drawn a much better score.
