I will address each point separately, and close with some general comments on the piece. I rated Vision according to the fact that the message you're trying to give is strong and obvious - well executed, basically. I can tell that this is supposed to be cute and about friendship, and I believe this comes off quite well through the physical contact of the two bunnies, in addition to their inherently cute nature. Basically, you chose excellent subjects to portray something cute and friendly. Originality, on the other hand, I marked quite low - I have seen this theme over and over and over, and not JUST the theme itself, but the way it is presented. Cute animals are wonderful, we all love them, but using them as a vehicle for something just as soft and fuzzy (friendship) is overdone and cliche. Technique is at 3 stars because your use of your camera has produced a high quality photo. The contrast of focus draws our eye to the main subject effectively. Why this rating is only at 3 stars is due to composition - the lower bunny creates a parallel line to the bottom of the frame, and its nose is SO close to the bottom right corner, that there is unnecessary tension in the overall picture. Basically, too much gravity and pull to that corner leaves it feeling unbalanced and like there is too little attention to the rest of the piece. Lastly, impact is also at 3 stars because, again, the repetitive nature of the theme and the way it was communicated makes this too cliche, BUT your handling of your camera and the commercial appeal makes this a nice picture.

Overall, this is hard to not like because it is so high in appeal, but in terms of being artistically well-rounded, it does lack in certain fields. I think it's a cute picture and serves its purpose, but maybe, with a camera that nice and the photographic skill you have, you could aspire for something more interesting?

What do you think?
