Very cute shot...love the texture and the old feel to this. The pink nose draws me in...but I would probably have had the bare leaning into the image not out of. 6.

Lovely subject. Excellent tones, light and composition. I think this would do nicely with and without softness. Job well done.

For some reason I really like your photo. The colors blend well, the focus does seem soft alltogether (not just blurry) but the bear without eyes is kind of sad and disturbing. I'm not getting the title but I see no reason to give it a low score. 10
