Very creative. A bit oversaturated for my taste, but well done

Nice use of the lens. Colours are strong... perhaps a little too much on the saturation (notice the blue halo at the back of the green t-shirt). I'm picking this for a red or yellow ribbon. Well done!

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are vivid, saturation is appropriate for this image, and hues are natural.

Brightness and Contrast: Either you like this style or you don't. The lighting is angular and there is plenty of contrast. Personally I like the lighting and the contrast. However, I think people are used to seeing babies rendered brightly and softly. This style of lighting is harder and harsher. It would work better with adults or teens. The angle of the light emphasizes texture, and in this case makes the baby's hands look wrinkled. I believe that what the voters might have liked a little better is to be able to see more of the baby's face. Faceless things are usually scary. A very light fill, so that more detail could be seen, might have gotten you more votes.

Focus and depth of field. Both are excellent. The focus is sharp all the way to the back of the subject, but the background is softened so as not to distract. Nice work.

As I sit with the image a bit. I think that if the light had been softer and warmer, this would have improved your score. A soft box, and a gold tint to the light would really warm this image up.
