Very nice image. Powerful as well with a great message. I like the black and white effect you used on the image. It makes the image more touching. Good job.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Ruthiek.....

The 'from above' theme is ok in this photo... The only real issue I have with this photo is the small size. It's quite difficult to view the detail of this image at the small dimensions. In a situation like this, the light and shadow play in important role in the image, but the small size makes it very difficult for the viewer to work out those details.

I don't know much about your camera, but I would also suggest that the on-cam flash is almost always a bad idea for still life photography. The flash casts harsh shadows in many cases and causes some elements of your image to be over exposed or washed out...

Keep up the good efforts :)
