i think there is too much contrast, the bright light behind everything is blowing out the dark edges, but nice shot.

The shadows on the upper top left rose leaf are distracting to me. It's nice and sharp, though.

Baby is safe! yikes...

Nice and sharp on the baby, but I think the DOF is a little too shallow. Also, the light is a tad too harsh and the glare on the insect takes away from the "baby" a little.

The 'baby' is a bit blown out, good DOF though.

Nut House Overexposed!

Greetings from the critique club.

First you did meet the challenge, def overexposed, now the question is, does it enhance your photo? That I'm not so sure it does. The overexposure is actually distracting and doesnt enhance the photo. I think the subject is a bit crowded as it is and a bit busy. I'm not sure but it might also be a bit oversharpened.

Now how to make this a better entry? Honestly I have sat and thought about how I could make this subject more interesting and over exposed at the same time, and I cant honestly come up with an idea. Good luck in future challenges.
