Totally missed the focus! You put it right on the baby in the window!

I guess I'm not seeing it. Is the doll in the window the subject here? That is what is in focus.

Nice portrait and cropping. The light is a bit too harsh though.

This has a lot of potential as a headline, but what is your headline?

not finding a ribbbon winner with this title to compare it to, as it is the lighting is flat and the setup and facial expression are rather uninspiring

Feeling a bit sluggish

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Hmmm, I would say this pumpkin is more puzzled than sluggish:-) Those jigsaw puzzle eyes are unique and way cool. The thing this composition needs most is attention to lighting. Lighting is way too harsh that it does not allow for any shadows to exist in the inside of the pumpkin. What happens is that the facial features of the pumpkin doesn't visually pop and stand out. I suggest that the light source is turned down/moved further away and/ or that you adjust the aperture and shutter speed to get a better balance of light and shadow.
