Hi Anne!

Positives:
The lighting seems to be fairly good, and you have the mittens focused well.

Possible Improvements:
I have to agree with the other comments below that the background just does not work here. I would have used some sort of a solid background that was a lighter shade, to give more contrast. The crop does not seem to be uniform. Also, the top left corner is a distraction.

Overall just an unintersting subject, I'm sorry to say. Good luck in your future entries.

Regards,
-Chris

The colored background helps emphasize the black in the mittens. I think it could use a little sharpening.

The pattern on the red background and the bit of brown showing in the upper left, distract from the mittens.

The texture and the lighting on the mittens are good, even some details in the fur at the top, but the background does not really compliment them well. It's far too busy and almost taking away the focus from the mittens, and there is an uncovered spot on the top left. Something plain or with texture would likely have helped it a lot.
