Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club.
First Impression: Love the reflection of the cheeky little face in the TV. Sadly (for me) its overpowered by the colours that look a little 'odd' to me.
Composition: A few commenters mentioned the tv should have been the main subject and I tend to agree with them and would have preferred seeing a little more of it.
Subject: A lovely portrait shot and am sure it will look great in the family album. The backgound is a little cluttered for me (again thats more for the challenge than family album shot). I had thought about a square crop but then you'd have lost that great carpet. Maybe nitpicking but the cut off arm is a little distracting.
Technical: I think this area let the image down the most, the overuse (imho) of the shadow/highlight & possibly saturation tools have messed with the colours - almost HDR like but don't think it helps the image at all.
Final thoughts: Although the link to household appliances is here its rather vague and feel in challenges its important to make the challenge topic stand out. Granted some shots ribbon when only marginaly meeting the challenge but they are normally excellent images in their own right. Keep them coming Dirk! |

| This is sweet. What a great way to capture a portrait. I think I'd like to see some of the right side cut off to put more emphasis on the babe and her reflection. |

| Wow, the colors in this shot are amazing.. I wish the subject (appliance) was more apparent but it really works! Curious to see the post processing of it. |

| Beautiful shot! I just think that would be bette to show more the TV, because it is very subtle on the frame. |

| Very very cute baby! Her reflection is looking right at the viewer. My only gripe is the toy behind her, which is very distracting. |

| I do like the idea, but it's very hard to tell that it's a television. Perhaps a different angle would have kept the reflection, but still have given the appliance a little more of the spotlight. (also the toys in the background are distracting. But I like the block rug!) |

| Nice use of a relection. Colors seem a tad oversatured and they certainly dominate the compostition. |

| The TV is hardly the subject in this picture. In fact, if you wouldn't mention it in the title, it might have as well gone unnoticed. |

| rather: the baby and a slight bit of a tv, I'm afraid. I'm not happy with the colors either and it is a bit dark, the red eyes are unfortunate, 2 |
