 The first one I shot handheld at night, which caused blur, too orange coloured and a too tight crop.

This one I shot in the afternoon, but as my bedroom has no direct window it's always rather dark. One single lamp burning. I sold the chair they were sitting in and one of the bears was given away, but I replaced it with a similar bear.

cropping, sharpening, faded the colours a bit because they were - again - a bit too orange, resized it to fit the challenge.

I'm curious what voters will think now. LOL maybe I'm getting the brown ribbon again, as I did with the first one.

Post voting:
It did much better than my original wich was in the 'long exposure' challenge.

A much better job this time! I like the light coming in from the left across the top of the table, which gives a twinkle to the eye of the first bear!

It wasn't able to find the original until you posted in the forum.
Yes you have improved it a bit but there are still things that could be better.
I like the colours better on your previous but this one is better lit.
I like the background better on your previos if you skip the clothing in front.
The wooden thing under is ok, but the walls are distracting because of they are made of three different colours and textures. One thing is for sure, you have made it much lighter and in good focus. Bumping up a bit cause I found your original and could make the comparison :-)

nice composition, but all of the browns seem to blend.

This is a cute picture but the lighting seems a little dark with what looks like flare on the upper left. 5
