Camera Work/Technical: You captured terrific colors in this image. I also like your choice of settings, capturing all elements of interest in crisp focus.
Lighting: Your lighting is nice and even. You did a very nice job capturing this one without loosing any details in the shadows or blown highlights.
Composition/Content: I'd like to see your cropping loosened up a bit. Chopping off fingers or body parts near joints gives more of an accidental snapshot than an intentionally composed image.
My Opinion: You met the challenge well, but with a bit different composition, this score would have finished much higher.
That expression is adorable, you caught it just right! The only thing I can think of that maybe (or maybe not) would make the image a bit stronger is to get in a bit closer (or trim off a bit from the right side and from the top). I've been trying to do that here on the screen, using two pieces of paper, and it looks good either way. ~8
you should have gave him another 10 minutes then it would have been real sticky. very cute shot. i like the way my eye focuses on the mouth the sticky part of the photo
lol 2 candycane pics back to back, i like this one better though cuz the kids cute. But this is advanced editing, you could have cloned out those boogies and that thing on his cheek, would have made this better. 6
