Greetings from the Critique Club!

Very cute. The strong framing here was a plus with voters. However, the blown highlights and the low contrast held this back, IMO. I know this is a sepia image and you are not going to have true blacks but the low contrast coupled with the highlights probably gave voters the impression that these things weren't technical mistakes and not done on purpose. I do like the low contrast look you have here so maybe avoid the clipped highlights especially that area on the right corner.

As for the composition, I like the choice you made here i.e. the cropping and positiong the focal point off-centered. What I would have liked better would be for her to be looking at the viewer. However that probably wouldn't be an easy task getting her to look and capture her licking her fingers.

All in all a good entry and an even better keepsake.

Great composition! I'll bet that took a while to set up just right.

Great image. Maybe a little more contrast. Takes a while to notice the dad reflection. Many probably won't notice him. Still, great image!
