8!? You're only 8? Good heavens, I couldn't have gotten the idea for this at that age, never mind taken and processed a picture. I am impressed! I have trouble getting pictures of gerbils and I've been doing it for years. Congratulations :-)
Congradulations on your personal best, my little E-bug! You remained persistent and very patient to get the shot they way you wanted even though it took 45 minutes & Eclair was not sitting still. I am very proud of how you handled yourself.
4 - Like the concept, wish the little one dominated more and had better focus. Not sure that the fabric/'backdrop' is enhancing this as much as a different choice may have. Also, perspective variation may have also given this more of an edge. There seems to be a pink/something tint to this as well. edit:typo
