Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi there, Joe. I love the bright colors and the crisp white in this image, I think those factors account for the higher scores you received during this challenge. The lower scores, however, in my opinion were likely based on composition and lack of "wow". Compositionally, your subjects are just laying there - even looking a little flat. You mention they were pencil puppets - what if you had posed them upright, as if they were interacting with one another. I think giving your subjects a sense of action would have improved your score greatly.

Hope that helps.

Not a badly taken photo, but not a terribly creative one either.

This would be more interesting if the Cat's face was straightened out and the angle was such that I could see the characters' eyes clearly.

The Cat in the Hat, seems he's missing a nose,
And where Thing 2 has gone, nobody knows!
