Greetings from the Critique Club!

A clear representation of the struggle between parent and teen to get the child out of bed in the morning! I'll bet you did have fun! The expression on the girl hints at it without telling too much that it was set up...which of course it had to be. The lighting is nice, it sets the "morning" mood fairly well and preserves detail across the exposure.

On the challenge side of things, does it scream "Seuss"? Certainly one of his titles. The bright colors in the blanket head in a Seussian direction. The rest of the colors don't really add as much to the theme. Playful yes, but it seems to lack a strong feeling of illustration, of blocks of color and drawn lines, that would help strengthen the connection to the challenge topic.

Overall, a fine image that stands on its own but sits on the edge of the challenge.

Keep having fun and shoot what you love!

If I liked Ohio State, I̢۪d be too embarrassed to get up as well. Go Gators! :-)

Good image & good concept. The colors/contrast do not cause me to think of Dr. Seuss.

I'm really missing something here. How is this related to Dr. Seuss?

You know, I think that might have been Shel Silverstein, not Dr. Seuss, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, this is cute.
