 A coupla' specks o'dust on the sensor I wish I had noticed and cleaned up before shooting. I have shot on and off for 19 years with a film EOS (until it died about six years ago) and have only had the Fuji S3000 until last week. Now the control is back in my hans, let's see what I can do! (ha ha!)

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.

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.

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!
