I agree with Cherie about the cropping on the top and bottom. Also, a background that is not as busy would been better as the reflection on the windows is a bit distracting. Good effort.

Kelly;

This is a nice filtered/photographic composition of your daughter with her prize winner Jack Russell Terrier(JRT), I like the blocks and trophy cups with the bows in the front, although just a thought, I wished you would have cropped less on the top and bottom, the lighting is a little dark on your beautiful daughter, brightness/contrast can improve that more, also in the front you could take either the cloning tool or healing brush and remove those blackish/blue spots on the tablecloth, otherwise this is a nice presentation.

Thank you for sharing,

Keep right on creating,

Cherie

Thank you Cherie, the spots you are refering to are worn places in the old blanket. And you missed something. I did not see it until I was looking for the spots you pointed out. The white ribbon on the right side blends into the blanket. What if anything can be done to correct this? Kelly

Experiment with the cloning, healing brush, eraser tools with the colors, or crop it up from the bottom more, just a thought.(ask a few people on here what to do, as we all don't have the perfect picture every time, or I never do,lol)

This is for me as a pure spectator of photographic art, here in type said a large secret what has to do this with creativity, more subjectively, photographic art. Perhaps wanted the author at the absurd situation of this scene involuntary humor and at hand of this metaphor as a criticism of the recreational activities of its citizens participate let us Sincerely Gerhard

Sigh...

I agree with Gerhard. Where is the art here? It's a personal gallery shot, little more than a snapshot. It would be better posted on PhotoSIG for technical critiques on the photography, Alice, but I fail to see the art here.
