Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Squares are definitely dominant in this photo. There is no doubt about meeting the challenge at all.

For some reason, the exposure on this shot is a litle flat. The colors are not popping out, and there are some nice colors here to work with. I think maybe the combination of lighting you described in your description is playing a role in that as well. Even though you fired your flash, the lighting is quite even. I don't see any resulting harsh shadows that I would normally expect from a closeup flash shot. Maybe you have an external flash that you bounced or something?

Compositionally, the image is a bit 'busy' for me. There is no good resting point for my eyes in this image. As I look at the image, my eyes keep wandering around and they don't really come to rest at any given point. There is a lot here to absorb and no real single focal point for the viewer...

Keep up the good work :) The 717 is a great cam and I'm sure it won't let you down!

Too much stuff. More stuff doesn't make it more better. I appreciate what you are trying to do, but it doesn't really work for me - inspzil

Something seems to be wrong with the light. I can not put my finger on it. What does your histogram say about it???

That's alot of squares! Good job on that side. The picture seems to lack focus. I still like it. Good luck. Jacko.

This a very cool idea of all the different games. And it really does look like it was organized well and not just thrown together. Very good job!

good idea, but these primary colors could have been more vibrant if the picture was brighter...

Maybe sometimes less is more?

This is a wonderful idea! Adjust the colour balance after you shoot to really make the whites pop and i'm sure your image will improve 8

I don't know what the "four", "four" means on the left, but the rest of the picture is awesome! I love all the squares everywhere! Nice. One thing, I'd prefer to see this a little lighter (more exposure) which would given more impact to it. 8.
