Very clever idea for an orange picture! If the focus were sharper it would be even better, I think.

Like the way you caught them in midair. I think the shot would have been more effective with a smaller pile at the bottom. Maybe half of the pile that's there.

Focus and light let you down on this shot. Nice effort and the colors are awesome.

I find that this portrait is a little too squashed in from the top, maybe you should have left more room top and bottomwise.

cute but face from this angle looks distorted. Try to get more light in the eye!

Comment by andywightman:
A good subject but you are too close to do him/her justice. It's an unattractive image due to the model looking off frame and the awkaward angle of the mouth. Her right eye seems a bit red sugesting flash was used. Flash is deadly to human subjects. Natural light is infinitely preferable. Suggestion - place infant in a comfortable chair. Sit down 3-5 metres away, focus on her face against a neutral background, observe, wait and shoot. Sooner or later you'll get somethign better than this without even trying too hard.

Photos like this are tough to vote on. Sure, it's a cute baby. What element of this photo is going to draw me in?
