I think a tighter crop on the left would have made this composition a bit stronger

This is, of course, a very cute picture. However, children and animals are not considered to be good candid subjects - because they are always candid, especially if you are photographing them from behind (ha!).

I like the colors in this shot - the various whites set off by the pink of the outfit and the green/yellow bowl. The lighting is a little dull - perhaps a little levels and hue/sat would have helped to make it pop more, and definitely some Unsharp Mask.

A tighter crop would have decidedly benefited this image. The left side of the photo is useless and does not add anything to the picture except as a distraction. As such, the photo has a snap-shotty feel to it; with a tighter crop - a lot off the left, a little off the bottom - it would probably look like a composition.

The capture of the cat's position is very good - seeing just a bit of head and tail. The black contrasts well with the rest of the image. The white fence/railing is also an interesting element.

I hope that my comments help you - that's what they are meant to do. It is always easier to comment on an excellent shot. Since my shots are not always excellent, I tend to appreciate when someone takes the time to tell me why they are voting lower. In that spirit, I left this comment.

My first impression was a 4 on this photo. After looking at it for a while and writing about it, I will stick with the 4 because of the lack of image quality and a subject, though cute, not 'wow' in any sense.

This comment courtesy the Viral Comment Experiment (VCE). The VCE is an experiment to see if a large number of quality comments can be generated in a fashion similar to chain letters. The first time you receive a VCE comment, randomly choose five (5) images from this challenge (or another challenge) and leave quality, useful comments/critiques like this one. Make sure to mention good things as well as bad things. Then, see how many you receive in return over the next few weeks. Make sure you copy this VCE notice at the end of each comment. [Obligatory chain letter threat] If you do not make five quality comments within 24 hours, your hard drive will crash and your camera's shutter will fail at an inopportune moment.

Good capture but try to show some face for the emotion of the story to come through.
