Greetings from the Critique Club!

Aesthetic: A nice pleasing portrait.

Technical: Color are crisp but focus needs bit of work. Also the image is little blownout at highlights.

Challenge: I think its closer to theme, but needed the title for direct association.

Conclusion: Overall a good capture but could have been much better with better postprocessing. The focus seems to be little soft and shallow DOF has thrown the toy face out of focus. Also soft glow, in post-processing would have give soothing feeling to highlight "comfort". And yes - the model is cute :)

I did not voted for this challenge but would have given anything between 5-6, which is in-line with final score. Goodluck for future submissions. You have got some amazing shots in your portfolio. "The Blood Hells -- Beppu, Japan" and "My Buddy" are too cool :)

I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Wish you a great day!

This reminds me of one of those cold medicine ads from the magazines.

I really like how the boy looks scared. The poor dog is trying its hardest to provide comfort! Well done! 8

Beautiful eyes! I wish puppy's nose was in focus too, though.

Nice photo, I love his expressive eyes. Would like to see a little more DOF.
