Greetings from the Critique Club!

I like wood blocks and the way they can help me recall the other things of childhood. This image, however, does seem like a "product shot"...which is fine except in the context of the challenge. Yes, Dr. Seuss published an A, B, C's book...but so have many other children's authors... What makes this particulary Seuss-like?

The lighting renders the texture of the face of the blocks. The background neither adds nor detracts from their representation. The blocks are carefully arranged, neatly stacked...but not very reminiscent of the energy or mischeviousness of Seuss.

Overall, the shot is technically competent and offers a record of wood blocks.

Keep shooting and play whenever you can.

Fairly static arrangement but your colors look good.

On it's way to a microstock site. Need to keep that white background a bit whiter though.

The lighting could be better. I'd prefer to have more light on the blocks and less on the background.

This photo is a littel flat and not very interesting.
