Greetings from the Critique Club. After reviewing the photo I have some suggestions and some comments.
Challenge met, good representation of Mother this is a nice emotive photo. Good use of DOF to add to your presentation.
The color seems a bit flat, perhaps bump the saturation, and the contrast a little to help make things stand out. The photo seems a little busy, I might have taken the books and the cup out of the photo and left some empty space to help draw the attention to the photo and the letter. I think the letter being printed and then having a pencil in the photo takes away, I would have liked to have seen a Pen and handwritten, or if you used the pencil the writing to be in pencil. Overall a good entry. Good luck with future challenges. |

| I think it would have been more powerful if the writing was done by hand. This looks too "staged". Generally I don't prefer pictures where words are the subject or important to the meaning. Just a personal preference I guess. |

| Something bugs me about this and I haven't worked out what but I kind of like it too. A little cluttered perhaps? Maybe the fact that Dear Mom is done on the computer and not the pencil in shot? I'll work on it |

| Very emotive image. Colorful, bordering on being busy, but presented well. Great use of dof. I am drawn into the image, wondering what it is that will be said in the letter. Very nice. And that is wonderful writing. Was that really hand written??? :-) Good overall, I'm not crazy about the transparent border, in this case it seems to be a bit distracting. Maybe a small solid border could work? Nice job. |

| great idea but its lacking a little spark. I also find it strange that the letter appears to be typed and there's a pencil on it... should have been hand written imho. |

| I like the idea for this shot. Overall, it looks quite nice. I would much rather have seen the card handwritten, though. Having it machine-printed takes away from the realism, esp with the pencil. |

| I like the way the picture focuses in on the letter.. but I find it a bit strange to read the typewritten words and having the pencil lying there. The words you've chosen leave a lot of room for interpretation by the viewer too. |

| I like the way you composed this image. The blurred photograph in the background adds so much impact to this image. |

| since the pencil is there, i would have preferred the writing be in pencil too. or put a pen to give the impression it was written, rather than printed out as it appears now. nice concept and good colors. |
