Thought this was a cute idea for photo. Probably would have done better if it wasn't submitted to Color Studio Portrait.

Original: walking baby shoes:

Went to Goodwill to find shoes, and then hunted around for nice looking grass in the winter.. in Arizona.

*Hello from the Critique club*

First Impression: aww that̢۪s just adorable. Lovely colours and very clean and smooth shot.

Composition /Background: The effect of the bright pink and the earthy green make this image powerful and a live. You display nice use of the rule of thirds and also depth of field. The focus is right on target.

Post Processing: Borders are very debatable, I for one like them but when I submit in here I try (not doing well though ) to keep away from them since users have widely expressed there dislike. Colour and light are right on target for me.

Challenge: Since this is a mix and mach challenge it hard to view the photograph from the challenge point of view but looking at the brown ribbon you choose, the improvement is clear even though the original wasn̢۪t all that bad. There is one thing I think you did wrong, when the challenge basis its submissions on other photos, I think its best to put the original image id somehow in your title, this helps the voter find the image and gives you a rating according to how much better your photo is :) that would have worked in your favor here.

Overall: Cute, sweet and bubbly.. well executed and technically very well done! I think the only thing missing here is the umph!-factor, something to make it pop out , be a bit more interesting for the voters. Don̢۪t know how you would do that but for me it looks good just like it is.

I would have voted 8

Happy shooting :)

Is this from Walking Baby Shoes? Nice - and improved - take. Much more depth, better colors, stronger composition.
