Good idea and creative. I didn't see the number 10 at first though, maybe because of the spacing between some of the bears. The subjects seem a little soft on the focus and I'm trying to figure out why. I might be wrong, but my guess is that you hand held this shot. If you did, then that is probably why it appears soft. It is difficult to get a clean, sharp shot with a shutter speed of 1/8s without a tripod. Was it hand held or am I way off base?

Even though the flat blue surface is not dynamic - I think you did a good job of having an even colored background. This is something I have struggled with a lot.

Very nice figurines. The lighting is good, no really harsh shadowing and the details are all visible. The focus looks good though a touch soft for me. I'm not sure I like the composition though. I see that it makes a 10 but because there are actually 10 figurines I wish they had been put together in a more creative way. Perhaps on something with varying heights to give a number of areas of interest or outside in some sort of teddy bear picnic kind of scene. Something a little more dynamic than on a flat blue surface. Still the technical portion of the image is very well done. I gave a 6

Cute image and concept. My suggestion would be to have the bear holding the other bears (bottom right) be moved in a little to better complete the circle of the zero. Also the shadows are a bit distracting. However, as I said I like the shot; it is very cute and makes me smile.

These are cute, and I love the background color, makes them stand out.
I find the angle a bit distracting though. My eye wants to see their faces and details.
