This is a pleasing photograph. I would like to have seen a little bit more below the shoulders. To me, this photo places too much emphasis on the lollipop. I think adding the contextual background that a more vertical crop would have given would have improved this one. Just some opinions. Overall though, I like it. This could easily have that 'family snapshot' feel to it, but you have successfully avoided this.

I'm not sure I like the rubber bands. I think this photo would be stronger without them. Good execution of the idea though.

I would like to have seen a bit greater DOF, but the bokeh is very nice. Looks overly processed to me, but I couldn't say how. Has something to do with the sharpness and DOF. Despite this, it's a good composition and the little critter is awesome looking. 6.

Though it adds to the mood of the photo, i think this one could stand to be a little lighter. At least enough to see the shape of the glass. I like it despite this though.

Hate to say it, but the subject matter is just too crude to receive a fair evaluation of it's photographic merits. This would be on par with me taking a picture of my poop and naming it 'Bacteria's Playground'. Your image is meaningful, but too offensive in my opinion to do well. Good luck though.

Chicago!! Right? The photo seems a little out of focus to me, or noisy, or pixelated. Something, not sure. I like the composition though.
