Critique Club Review:

I would have thought this picture would have done better. Evidently some voters didn't catch the metaphore. (Seeds of imagination aren't necessarily physical objects.)

Brightness, and contrast are good.

Focus is excellent. Though perhaps a soft focus would have helped communicate the imagination element in the title.

I do agree with winknasmile, that a position on the other side of the child would have been preferrable. Turned backs give the impression of exclusion. Also, we are left with a face in shadow and in competition with a "view" of a disposable diaper.

this is a cute photo, but i would like to see the child's face. I wonder if you could have gotten more to the side for a profile shot?
