It's fun and every little boys dream toys, and they do seem to treasure those kind of toys.

The negative space of this photography adds emphasis to the toys but the wheels of the Tonka truck disappear into the background.

There is a nice simplicity and crispness to this image. I think you have done a nice job to show toys of childhood.

From a technical side I think the image is very solid - good lighting, good use of dark background and decent composition. If I were to adjust anything on the comp, I would recommend a bit less space on time and a bit more at the bottom. And maybe for a childs toy, I would think a bit warmer setting might work a bit better than the dark background - this seems more like a studio stock shot for a catalog.

From an emotive side, I think the fact that the toys are brand new actually hurts you - the ball, the toy, the animals don't quite look loved yet. Providing that extra emotive touch to an image like this would likely boost the image a lot.

Lovely lighting, nice and simple. Might have been worth balancing out the colour saturation by bringing up the blues and greens to the same level as the red and yellow.

Very nicely done. Nice colors, nice lighting, balanced composition. I really like this shot. I really like the details of the texture of the plush, and the stiching on the baseball.
