Heh, with the title, this made me smile (thanks). They really do hang out in suburbia, don't they? Watching the kids head off to the mall; I love the car in the back, it's needed for context. Excellent.

The car really ruins this shot for me, and the flower is dead center, try thinking about using the rule of thirds here. Move the flower to the top left and that might get rid of the car. Yes I see that you titled it in suburbia, but it just doesn't work for me.

The car in the background is a bit disturbing.

While I like the idea I think that the blown out upper corner distracts too much from the beauty of the flower.

The blown out areas of the photo draw the eye away from the flower. OOF leaves distract. bloom in center is not good composition.

The white gap on the left side is a major distraction from this otherwise great idea. Love the colors. Games are slightly OOF - picture seems a bit grainy.

Interesting take on the challenge but for some unexplainable reason this composition doesn't work for me. Maybe more DOF, or tighter crop...I do like the angles created with the crayons and game boxes. It is very colorful, but the lighing doesn't seem to enhance those colors as much as I would expect...maybe you neededed more modeling with shadows using a brighter second light? 6
