Very crisp, very clean shot, and definitely meets the challenge. Hard to get voters to go for "toys" in many instances, though. Perhaps just a tad oversharpened on the red cars, but I tend to prefer softer over supersharp most of the time, so that could just be me.

This has too much yellow tone.

Nice shot which IMO would be even better if the other cars were more out of focus.

These beauties look like Hugh Hefners bunnie girlfriends I saw on TV lately. Maybe he's a Barbie fan ;-)) Good luck. Great shot.

Quite the mix of rides! The shallow DOF makes some of the other cars look real. The red on the cars is a bit weird, although that's probably how they came.

Hello from the Critique Club,

I do not read the other comments or see the score before I write my critique.

Aw...lovely horsey. :) Obviously shot for the horse challenge, so easily fits the challenge.

I love how close up you got and the turn of the horse's head. However, the whole photo has a very washed out feel to it for me because of the bright sun. This was advanced editing and I think you could have played more with your options (or in-camera when taking the shot) for bringing out the greens in the background and reducing the glare of the sun on the horse's face. To me, that is its biggest drawback.

It also appears to have been over sharpened. I know that also sometimes happens with the resizing, but the overall effect is similar.

I would have scored this horsey portrait a mid-5 in the challenge.

I hope this helps!

Judy

I like how you've chosen to focus on the second doll instead of the one in front. I would like it better if this doll's dress were not quite as crazy. I would rather the focus be her face, and I find the pattern very distracting.
