Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

Before I get started, this is a strange photo.

Composition - I could see where you get love out of this. Its not really what I think the challenge was about, but in its own way, it does meet. That being said, Ronald looks like he's seen better days. The figure and Isaac are reasonably well framed. I'm not wild about the shot. It would be better to see Isaac's face methinks. Don't take this the wrong way GeneralE, but this is a little creepy IMO. As unbelievable as this may sound coming from me, I have no suggestions on what to change really to make it better. I'm stumped. Maybe Grimace?

Technical - A little blurry perhaps, but in spur of the moment situations, you are generale lucky to have a camera with you more or less turned on in your hands ready to shoot. Exposure is pretty good and the overall picture quality is quite clear, nothing lost by bumping the ISO up to 200. Processing looks pretty minimal. Nothing really to note.

Overall - I do not like this photo, even as a simple snapshot. I don't know any nice fluffy way to say it generale so I hope you can appreciate my directness. Maybe I have a clown-phobia that I've never addressed, but something strikes a wrong chord when I look at this. I understand the concept and I do feel it meets the challenge (a little loosely perhaps). And honestly its not a badly taken photo.
With that said, I'm moving on... My apologies if I said anything too offensive and also that this critique is basically worthless. Good Luck in the future challenges GeneralE - Bob

Challenge met. Not the kind of love I had in mind when considering photos, but definitely a valid interpretation. Nice composition. The grid in the background actually makes it less distracting and the way the kid has it's head turned back to Ronald is just too funny. You can still see the grin on his face, too. Nice and colorful overall.
