(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) This is a very cute photograph. The glasses on the bear just give me a huge smile. The photograph has all the elements of a story, the bear dressed up and with glasses, the envelope and the letter.... all add up to a whimsical storybook feeling.

(2) BACKGROUND There are a couple of things in the background that are distracting to me. In the upper left there is a tag of some sort. I do not see how that fits into the picture. Behind the bears neck is also something that draws the eye away from the places it should be resting.

(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL The DOF is very good, all of the important parts are in sharp focus. Your composition is very good as well. I love the lighting you have used, there are no harsh shadows. Everything is very evenly lit.

(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Your post processing is good. Saturation is good. Colors are vibrant and bright. Your cropping may be a bit tight. I feel as though something is missing because the top of the bears ears are cropped out. This gives the photograph a sort of "squashed" feeling"

(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photograph does a very good job of meeting the challenge.

(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO The subject here is very cute. I could see this framed nicely and hung in a childs room. Good luck on future challenges.

This would make a great greeting card, maybe a birthday card for a grandchild from grandmom. You put a lot of thought into this. Really good photo. Cropped t to tightly. Besides that 1 things bother me.One is the tag or whatever on the left side. Maybe if I could read it I would see that it fit the photo. The other thing is what is sticking out from behind the bears head. Other than these things this is a fantastic photo. Good job. Spot clean these things after the challenge and you have a wonderful greeting card.
