Hi Van

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Very snapshot looking.

COMPOSITION:
Very good. Subject placing is good, the only thing I would so is move to the left so that the tiles align with the bottom border (horizontal) :)

TECHNICAL:
I think your low votes came from your technical execution. As soon as you use a onboard flash, you are doomed! This will almost always make it look like a casual snapshot. I suggest you use other lighting (mounted lamp, window, sun) to make your shots more dramatic. Looking at your other photos, I think this was a last minute thing and it's more about the story behind it than the actual photo :|

ARTISTIC:
N/C :)

OVERALL:
I know you can do better...you have done better...CONGRATS ON THE NEW MEMBER OF THE FAMILY!!!!!!!!

Cheers and good luck in the future challenges.

Cute shot, however it looks like you were outside the date bounderies; the picture must be taken during the week of the challenge.

Cute kid. What is all over his fingers that is red? Indirect light would have lighten the background without washing it out. Still not bad at all.

I see the squares on the floor, but the subject of the photo is not a square (unless that's what you're implying). Basically, this is a snapshot.

I like your idea here! Quite original! Did he find the square yet?
