 It's a baby. And a cup. Took loads, but all the best ones ended up with a reflection of the camera. Huh. Oh well.

ironically, the reflection is just a distraction from an otherwise great shot. 6

The reflection itself is a bit chaotic and irrelevant in terms of the whole picture. The title ties it in well for the challenge and the idea's nice too. At the risk of incurring a mother's wrath I'd have suggested cropping out most of the baby's head. Dead cute snapshot but I'll not give it more than 6

well framed shot, it would have been better if the baby's hand did not cover so much of the reflection.

So whats the main element? - ithe baby's ear?
The reflection is just an incidental or secondary element and for a 'reflections' challenge that is not enough.

As a prtrait it also struggles becasue the viewer can't connect with the subject, the eyes are hidden. Just imaging if the baby had just glanced up and caught you taking the pic. Now that would have had some impact.

For a reflections challenge - I can only ive it a 4 - sorry
