I think the purple sets her hair off wonderfully. Love the flushed cheeks and the impish expression.

i think this is a great idea for a photo, but i can see one major thing that would give it that extra something special. i would have used a different blanket for her to lay on. the pattern and colors detract from what appears to be the subject (girl and her teddy).

My belly is hairy too. I feel your pain.

I also have button up jeans. They sure button down a lot faster than they button up.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Billy,

Congratulations on a lovely shot that will no doubt be a great memory for you (and the grandparents). There is a wonderful sense of motion here (stopped of course). I can almost feel the angst and glee of the kids - in that sense the shot is very effective at conveyign this emotion.

The kids expressions are what make this shot so you would have done well to push that. A closer crop, and maybe a bit of contrast and sharpness around the faces could have brought this out a bit more. I would suggest you crop the top, left and right to compose your subject in the top third of the image - centrally composed subjects such as this generally look a bit flat (although not always).

I think you have scored well here with what some might regard as a snap-shot - that is a testement to the character of the shot. Well done.

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Cheers
Paul

nice idea, but a bit soft and loose. if you were in tight on their faces, you would have had a killer shot.
