Is this the real CassieDoodle? :D

I love the concept! The hat, lollipop, and facial expression are all working. I think a different shirt (the text is distracting) and brighter colors would really make it pop. I would try for natural looking skin tones and strong, bright colors for the lollipop and shirt.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 7.

Cassie, this is just beautiful. You have nice sharp detail on a couple of the berries/flowers, and the background is nice and soft. The square crop is great because it keeps our focus where it should be. The colours are very delicate overall, and you've finished it off with a nice frame. I really don't have any constructive criticism. All in all, it's a strong image. Congrats on your good finish and personal best!

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

Beautiful color! There could be much focus here in the front, but the bokeh at the background is great!

I really like this as a bokeh shot. The red and yellow colors really work and there's enough detail to see that the bokeh is made up of even more of these little buds.
