You asked for this shot to have a comment from a member of the Critique Club.
I thought that this shot was totally adorable. I gave this a 6 when voting and this is why.
You have every element going on here, your sharpness, POV, clarity is outstanding. The thing that totally killed it for me was the flower. If the flower had not been in there it would have been a straight 9-10.
I love the fact that the person was clearly seen, but it was a challenge to see if you could hide this person, which , in a way, was done, but not hidden enough for DPC
I think that the set up on this shot was excellent and this is a picture that anyone would love to hang on their wall.
This is a wonderful portrait with nice contrasts and an adorable subject.
It is not, unfortunately IMO, an "otherwise person-less" photo. The colored flower against the desat rest of the shot is clearly the main subject. But the baby is the real story, and is in no way hidden.
Very creative, and nicely done, just dnmc a bit for me.
