| This is a really cute scene and the composition seems just right to me. If only it were sharper. I can see that it was shot at a slow shutter speed and probably handheld. A tripod can hold the camera steady and prevent blur from camera shake (I use one that can get very low to the ground for shooting children). Bumping up the ISO setting, when possible, can help acheive a faster shutter speed and reduce the motion blur from the subject. |

| Nice, sepia is beautiful ... like an old photograph. Wish it could be sharper but that's ok, like i said, it looks like an old photograph. |

| Sepia tone doesn't work here because it gives the photo an old feel but that conflicts with the Dora the Explorer chair, which can't be very old. Image looks a bit fuzzy to and very snapshotish. |

Use of sepia in this composition works well and you captured your young subject at a moment of discovery and learning. This image captures true education far better than 98% of the images that will score above it.
The biggest defect in this image is focus. Your model should be in tack sharp focus. You can see that your autofocus decided the background should be focused and not your subject since it occupies more space.
Your perspective is not necessarily bad but is "snapshot-like". Taking it from the right up from floor level where you could see the whole face might be worth trying. You can't see the contents of the book from that perspective but you have a different angle and the facial expression is what makes the image. The contents of the book are inconsequential.
You might also consider a tighter crop and cut out as much wall in the background as possible. It adds little to the composition and the wall plug is a major distraction. There is a tendency for photographers to include the entirety of an object, like the book on the right, in the image. But you can achieve a very pleasing effect by including part but not all of an object. Cropping out part of the book would achieve that effect as well as get rid of the wall plug. |

| The one thing against this image is that it is blurry. Beautiful child and great idea. |
