I like the tumbled, jumbled arrangement, as if the child just got up to run outside a moment before. Has a slightly bereft feel to it.

The lighting is quite nice -- especially since it lights up the eyes. Great idea!

I really, really like the set up of this and the mood created by it and the lighting. Very nostalgic!

I like the use of vintage toys, some blown areas but no biggie

Good focus and nice gentle colours.

The stick leaving the top middle of the picture is a little distracting as it leaves the frame. I think ideally I would have rather seen it all in the picture. Otherwise nice shot

Too dark, look into the rule of cubes for better depth perception.
