Great lighting and the pose certainly communicates the theme. But I am not connecting with your little bear - it feels a little too clinical and therefore just doesn't hit me on an emotional level. It is beautifully taken though, nice lighting, framing etc.
Excellent composition and setup of the bear. The angle fo the head and the placement of the paw really gives a sense of silence. The lighting from the top of the bear brings out the gurry texture of the subject. That highlight glare in the eyes adds the finishing touch. Nice simple design. "10"
Just not cute enough... On second thought, I'm being too harsh. Technically I can't fault this picture at all. Lighting is good, framing right on, etc. It's just that it doesn't "move" me I suppose. I'm upgrading my vote, however. I was too harsh. I gave it a 1 and that wasn't fair. I'm moving it all the way to 5.
I'm damned if I know how you got such a pure black background! The bear itself is very cute and the theme is clearly represented. I can only give you eight and that's only because I am too fussy to ignore the low contrast between the feet and the black.
