Greetings from the Critique Club!
Fun entry, I gave this a 6 in voting, mostly cause I liked how well the phone was hidden and the oof dogs' reflections.
I think there are two main reasons why this didn't do better. One, there is a lot going on in this pic; so much visual clutter, so much stuff that just doesn't need to be there. Yes I know you want the cluttered vanity there to confuse the viewer, and I love the use of the three-way mirror reflecting the dogs.
But the stacking cases on the left, the edge of the towel rack on the right, they do nothing for the shot except take up valuable space. In a shot like this, you really need to have a definite reason for everything being there.
Second reason: there isn't a level horizon in this image. And there must be one; most voters hate a horizon that isn't level. Levelling the image on the base of the mirror frame would have done the job nicely as so many items on the vanity are at an angle themselves, like the bright yellow iron. Again, there is a time and a place for Dutch angles, but a busy shot ain't one of them!
Hope this has been useful.

| The reflective case on the table top has very sharp corners, so I'll vote for the screen in a red case in the reflection as being the "real" one. Or does that tablet with possible apple logo just under the black dog have phone capabilities? |
