Greetings from the Critique Club!

A cute studio set-up. The lighting is fine, the composition compact and unified. It hints at playfulness. However it's connection with Seuss is not as strong as it could be. I can see that the red background and the cartoonish stuffed animal work in the direction of the Seuss theme. But the choice of plate (square and patterened) work against it. More familiarity with the book would have helped you here...both the eggs and the ham should be green and the eggs should be fried. The stuffed toy isn't close enough to either character from the book...and so moves the Seuss fan away from being convinced. In the book, the plate is round and large, more like a platter and held like one on fingertips by the character who offers the green eggs and ham throughout the story. A fork sticking up from the food is also characteristic.

Overall, technically fine but lacking when it comes to the challenge. Bravely done!

This is a nice composition with the exception of the colour of the backdrop. a subtle lemon may have complimented the image and allowed the other colours to pop as apposed to taking all the viewers attention and subduing the rest

The background color isn't my favorite, and I don't understand the placement of the stuffie, and the ham isn't green.
Otherwise, it's fine. It kindof looks like the camera was really close to that piece of ham. It looks blurry.

I don't understand the significance of the stuffed... thing. Also, ham is not green!
