Yum. I like the colors and the disembodied mittens and scarf, and the drink looks great. It took me a second to figure out the cookie. :)

I'd say you really achieved soft focus here with good detail and color. I think the eye color could be boosted a bit, but other then that I think this is very nicely done.
Good luck in the challenge.8

Great job here! I love the perspective/crop of this. I like all of the details; the cocoa, mittens, cookie and scarf. I would have liked to see a bit of her neck/chin still in the shot with her eyes cropped out. Maybe it wouldn't look good? I dunno...still trying to envision it. lol Great job, I gave this an 8.

How about the finger shown in a recoiling motion?

Oh, hope you didn't scare him too much! They are such cute little things, one of the few animals I have never owned :)

A good shot overall, the color, the clarity and the cropping is well done but the border hurts this shot on the sides, too heavy for the rest of the border and the shot. Also if the crop was just a bit higher on the top, showing a bit much more of the hand. Started at a 7, finishing with an 8

The cocoa looks yummy and the exposure is perfect.
A more elegant solution would have been to have the gloves and coat hanging over a chair or at least having the gloves on the table beside the mug. It looks awkward with her holding the cookie, like it might cause her to spill the hot chocolate at any moment. Do you think there is too much black space between the scarf and the mug?

The scarve and handgloves, plus that cup of chocolate(?) with cookie stand out perfectly against the other darker textile. Good idea and well captured.
Perhaps I would like it even more without the scarve. The purple does not seem to belong here and the handgloves tell enough about the conditions.... Yes, I do believe that a landscape scene of just the lower part of the photo would be even better. 8
