The black and white of the blanket don't seem to work well along with the plain grey background. If one or the other were present I think it would work better. As is it seems to turn the top left corner into cluttered space instead of negative space. Good expression and a cute kid. 6

97 years old and I STILL didn't get what I wanted!

Looks like a flash was used, and I think the shot would have looked better with a different light source. The angle and the way the glasses are positioned I can't tell if she is looking down or sleeping. There doesn't seem to be enough contrast on the face itself, which I think goes back to the light source again. Framing seems to work pretty well. 4

A Dogs Life

interesting idea, but this picture doesn't seem very visually appealing to me. The background (which makes up much of the shot) is uninteresting and somewhat distracting. The facial expression is good. I'm not sure if a dog's perspective was the best choice for a portrait shot, but I'll credit you for being more unique than most entries. 5

Nice, crisp shot. Looks a little bit like it should be going onto a romance novel cover, (a bit cliche looking) which turns me off somewhat. not bad overall. 6

The colors and general tone of this photo really appeal to me. Good call with the thin black boarder as well. Great shot. 9

I like the expression on his face. I like the concept. The large empty space at top left seems to be a problem. I'm not sure how you could do the shot without leaving that hole. Perhaps trimming some of the left and top boarders would help. 6

Nice framing, black background works well.. simple subject made interesting. Nothing earth-shattering but a very likable photo. 7

Amusing idea.. but the photo itself is somewhat unimpressive. Having a clearly defined and focused shadow would have helped.

"Flocking at the Door"

The motion blur doesn't seem to add to this shot. It looks just like blurryness caused by a shaky hand. 2
