Greetings from the Critique Club! :)

What a cute little truck! I love the contrast in the sizes of vehicles.

There are a couple of things I see here that are causing some problems. First...the photo has a snapshot quality to it. While that's not always a bad thing, the challenge is to make photos that don't really feel like snapshots. Second...the background of your photo has a lot going on in it and it is distracting from your subject.

I was thinking that another way this could be photographed is to have all the trucks lined up with this little guy at the end of the line. You would still be able to show the contrast of sizes and it would make the subject stand out more. It would also show some planning with regard to composition and therefore, less snapshot-ish.

Just a couple of suggestions you may want to think about. I hope they help.

Good luck in future challenges!

Poor focus, composition and you can`t even tell what it is.

Very novel concept, let down by the following:
Seems to be a lot of noise (could have been prevented by using more light and a lower ISO). there is also very uneven lighting, far too much from the left, might have been better to have had your light from behind the fern.
The ashtray looks dirty, so if it had been poperly cleaned prior to the challenge it might have paid to have bought a new one which might have been a bit clearer.
Feel that the empty space on the left should have been filled with the fern to create a more symetric foto. Would also have been nice to see the colour of the flowers the whole way around the base of the ashtray.

Youre idea was good but the overpowering light hurt you quite a lot. You might try putting a sheet or something over the windowor light source to break up the light so you don't get so much damaging glare. 4

this is a bit too dark for my tastes, would like to have seen more of the detail

not sure why you cropped the top of the candle out - it takes away some of the symmetry for me. a little grainy on the leaves as well - on purpose?

Another photo from a Sony Mavica FD-73.

Comment by frisca:
bit grainy with too much of a "snapshot" feel to it. The elements in the background are huge and similar in colour and tone to the subject so are very distracting.
