Hello from the Critique Club!

This picture is adorable! Your composition is very cute. The idea to put the stuffed animals' heads together with your daughter's was a great idea.

The colors in the photo are very bland, however. I don't know what kind of post-processing you did on this, other than the crop, but I think you might benefit from playing around with some adjustment layers.

I also noticed that you used the flash. This is my opinion, but I would suggest avoiding using the flash unless you absolutely need to. The problem is that it creates unflattering shadows and washes out colors. In pictures that aren't beautifully lit, it is just unappealing. You have a terrific camera! Why not open up the aperture or use a longer shutter speed? In fact, one of the best features of digital SLRs is the adjustable ISO! Play with that and see what kind of results you can get!

You have an eye for composition and can think of creative ideas, now if you just take advantage of your DSLR, you can come out with great results!

the color and the focus seem a bit soft.
