Technical: Crisp colors, good exposure and sharp focus. Thats it.
Challenge and conclusion: Comfort is a subjective feeling and it would have been difficult for many voter to find out what comfort to look for - is it laughter or warm clothing or simply comfortable feeling of sweet kid!? Its good to give a complimentaty title to 'hightlight' the obvious :). Overall an above average composition which is techically perfect. The colors are really nice and the genuine smile adds the punch. The background is little burnt out, but I dont know if it could be any more better if it was not burnt.
Your score is really good for first submission. Congratulations on high score and wish you good-luck for future submissions. Looking forward to more wonderful pictures from you.

A poster like image with a great model radiating good health. The colors are very endearing and the facial expression captivating. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.
Beautifully sharp and crisp, perfect for winter content. Love the expression, rosy cheeks, and the lighting shows that well. A bit bright on the left arm area.
