Greetings from the Critique Club, Tim.
Composition: Not so good. The only positive element I can see are some lines guiding the viewers eye to your subject. But there are more elements I don't like. Primarily the background which is competing with your subject. I also would like to see either the whole logo or not at all. The centered subject placement makes this photo looking like a generic family photo album photo. Maybe that was your intent (regarding the challenge theme) but it's boring.
Pesonally I would have placed your niece more to the left, under the arm of the elk mascot and cut the logo.
Lighting: It probably was overcast so the lighting looks very flat. This also makes the photo look boring. The difference of the lighting conditions in the background photo and on your subject is a bit strange. They don't "fit" together.
The brighter "band" of reflection on top of the photo is distracting.
Focus: The focus is ok. Everything is in the same focus. I can't see anything bad but also nothing good on that.
Challenge: Yes. This is a cliche subject, photographed in a very cliche manner (family photo album style).
Creativity: I'm a bit torn apart. On the one hand I can't see much creativity here. It really looks like a photo you made for your family. There is nothing technically and on your subject which makes me (as not a member of your family) want to look at it for some longer time.
On the other hand the challenge theme was "cliche" and maybe you did all this on purpose. Maybe you did on purpose a non-special composition, lighting and focus and chose this subject. Well, this would be really interesting to know. Unfortunately you didn't say anything about your intent in the photographer's comments.
Overall Opinion: To be honest, I was really surprised to see that this photo was made by you. I mean I counted 9 ribbons you achieved and you regularly score above 6 but this really just looks like a private snapshot to me. As described above it would be interesting to know if that was your intent. It wouldn't make the photo more interesting to me but at least I would understand it. ;-)

| Nice photo! Good colors and focus. Some would complain of the "Rule of Thirds" violation but it doesn't bother me. In fact I think it is necessary for the background... Cub |

| Great!! Should have put the child a little to the left (just under the right arm) and it would be fantastic. Good job! 8. |

| Good work - I like this photo. The only thing I might have done differently was try to include the entire logo on the right (unless something else also came into shot ruining it). I like the vividness of the child against the softer background - it really brings the child into focus. Well done. |
