I just studied the photo, thought about what I was going to write, then had a quick look at previous comments.
Jaded_youth said it all already. I'll second (or third?) her comments.

Originally posted by jaded_youth: im NOT part of the critque club so this is just my unofficial opinion. obviously the sensor dust is distracting but also the lighting is harsh and left some dark shadows. i also think it feels a bit cramped on the right hand side. could use a little extra space before the border. speaking of which i do not think the border was a good choice for this one. on a happier note i like the subject. it was a very cute idea. ive been told that toys dont tend to score too well overall though and that may have had something to do with your score. hope that helps

I agree 100% with this critique. I'd add that the image seems a bit over-saturated also.

Jaded,
thanx for the quick post! I value all opinions, critique club or not. I plan on fiddling with reflectors in my "ghetto" studio to see if I can soften things up a bit.

Not really digging the blue hue in this image, I would have voted higher if the WB was warmer.

I have gotten all of the spots off, except for the large one in the upper right. (Hurricane blower works well, but I think this one's glued on there, and has been since day one!)

Thanks for the nice comments!

Spot at right distracts a bit.
