Greetings from the Critique Club!

Congratulations on your first entry and welcome to DPC! Be careful, it can become addicting!

I really like the composition of this shot. I love that you placed the central pony on top of the others, making it stand out even more. There's a lot of talk about rule of thirds, but I think putting something in the dead center of a photo can often be just as interesting, and this photo proves that point.

As you heard from many other commenters, this photo is just way too small. I feel that whenever someone has a small photo, they're usually trying to hide something, such as poor focus or dust on the lens. The larger a photo is, the more confidence it seems to have, so don't be afraid to really utilize the maximum size allowed.

I love the colors in this photo, they make the whole frame very interesting to look at. Unfortunately, there seems to be a yellowish color cast caused from the tungsten lighting in your living room. Most cameras have a feature that can get rid of this, and Photoshop can also fix it. This, along with a slight increase in saturation and contrast, would have really made the colors jump out of the photo more.

I also really like the dark spots between the dolls. I'm not sure if this is a result of lighting or if they're sitting on a dark surface, but I think the deep shadows really make the photo more interesting and give it depth.

I hope these comments were helpful. Good luck!

Cute, and great arrangement and colors. But why not submit a bigger image - I want more pixels.

You'll hear this many times I am sure... too small. Looks like a good picture otherwise.

! I have the one on the bottom. The light blue-green one with the purple hair. xD I wish this one would've been bigger, however.

aww I love this image! Colorful and clear - great focus and composition. and it brings back My Little Pony memories when I was a kid. :) the only problem is that it's a little too small.

4 - Mainly for the potential. Colors are good and (from what I can discern) the focus & focal point is good too. Criticism; the size of this is the biggest negative. Needs to be 640 on either width or height, in this case width. I like the way you have set the middle unicorn facing up to the camera. A slightly different crop (carefully choosing what to 'cut out'), and the size, would have made this much better in my opinion.

Nice shot, a little on the small side, though, and if there was slightly more focus on the center pony staring out...
