Brandon-
Seems as a majority of your comments are about the focus. Just thought I would throw a couple of pointers your way, if you don't mind.
1. Most cameras have a focus lock, usually by pressing the shutter button halfway. Make sure the focusing point(usually the center circle) is over whatever you want in focus, then with the focus locked arrange your composition.
2. You took your photo at 1/3 of a second, this is next to impossible to handhold steady. If you don't have a tripod, improvise and look for something to set the camera on that will keep it in the proper position and then use the camera's timer.
One more tip...always watch your foreground and background, they can make or break your photo.
Hopefully I told you something you didn't already know. If I didn't just blow me off. If I said something that doesn't make sense or just sounds stupid feel free to send me a PM.
Good Luck and Happy Photographing.

Almost acceptable focus. On the wall behind.
Sorry, bad mood. All I wanted to say is your focus is off. |

| The overall picture is out of focus. Try to focus on one important aspect of your picture (e.g. father's face). |

| I like the idea and the creativity. I wish the photo was in focus. The lighting is a little harsh. |

| Lacks sharpness and focus. Also, I would suggest trying a background, even if its just sheets of construction paper or poster board, to eliminate distracting backgrounds. It looks like you just set this on your dining room table and took a snapshot. |

| Great idea but the background is definitely a big negative here. |

| You went through a lot of trouble setting this up for that I give you lots of points, however the focus is not very good and you could have chosen a better background... |

| The chhese is out of focus while the background is in focus. Try composing it with a dark soft backdrop. |

| Quite out of focus. Also, the lighting looks too harsh. It's unfortunate, as your subject is really quite appealing. 3.5...I'll have to round down to a 3. Sorry. |

interesting idea, good light direction.
unfortunately it is out of focus, a most important element. Another thing that would improve it would be to put up a background like a large black board or sheet of paper or light-absorbing velvet.

| Such a shame about the soft focus. I also think the composition and the lighting could have been improved. |
