Noise, noise, noise! Composition is a bit odd, as well. Focus is awfully soft. Try shifting your POV and using Portrait view perhaps

Good try, but this is way out of focus and grainy, and the weird angle isn't helping here.

This is too grainy to really get the effect that I am guessing you are going for. I might try either more light (which kids will more often than not sleep right through) or a tripod and longer exposure time.

Unimaginative subject.

I realize it's hard to light someone who's asleep, but I think the lighting in this photo makes it a little flat. I also think the noise is distracting. Perhaps if your camera produces lesser quality images in dark environments you should make the final image smaller... just a suggestion. But not too small to really see the subject.

bad grain, bad subject, what is a drum doing in there. I think you shuold buy a new camera.

this photo has quality problems, the idea is to make technically good images that convey silence..not sure if photo would convey silence w/o title

lack of clarity here, needs better focus and less grain

very grainy.

Too grainy and not very clear. Background is a bit distracting. The picture could be improved tremendously with some good positioning and more contrast. Cute kid, though! :-) Great try.

Cute scene, but too fuzzy, no contrast. Kind of hard to see Jr's face clearly at that extreme angle.

This feels like a hastily taken shot. I presume the graininess a consequence of a low-end camera so not fault there. Composition is main concern. I need to see more of the child to evoke more silence. The drum attracts unwarranted attention. Try getting a bit highgher and close to child's face and you will then have a nice portrait rather than a rather cluttered snapshot.

seems very low quality DPI, i don't really find the cropping or angle of shooting that attractive.
