Yep, this is my daughter again, Courtney. We really had alot of fun doing this picture. The dog is Ruby. She is a Chinese hairless. Cropped, resize, usm, color correction, and sat up 5.

Like the idea and the pic, maybe just a little pit crowded - would have liked to see almost nothing except the clowns tool on the table. Good lightning and love the angle.
What a cool shot. For me the seriousness of the clown's expression contrasted with the little dog and the rubber duck and chicken really make this shot great. The color cast seems to be a little off. Maybe too yellow? Awesome for this challenge. 9.
8 - Met the Challenge. This is a busy photograph but has a lot of character and the colors are bold and apt. Criticism; Perhaps a little less 'clutter', maybe more of a focus on the clown, yet still incorporating some more of the 'tools'. The dog is a good character 'edge' and the angle and pose of it I like. The flowers also add to the character. I think a differet crop, slightly sharper angle (closer to the mirror) - not sure. I have to assume this is fairly 'candid' but if it is not, then more attention to the arrangement of the 'tools' would have made this a better photograph in my opinion. Original.
WOW! What a collision of colors. Very busy with lots to look at. My only complaint - Way too much yellow. I think all it would need is to have the color cast removed.
