My eye is looking for more sharpness in the knurling whereas you have chosen the forward corner. I think maybe the pattern repetition in the knurling is what drags my eye to there, but with the miniscule DoF I struggle a bit to lock on, if that makes sense. Fine shapes and very solid composition in the clouds shot, it makes me look and look. The copyright notice distracts me at the bottom as too prominent. Delightful subtle skin lighting in the third (and a gorgeous little sweetie!). I note your disciplined framing (a lesson for me there) and meticulous composition again for the shapes. The mirrored adult profiles in the background are cool, as is the detail of the teddy behind. The foot with shoelace at left distracts a little for me and the drink above. I might try burning down and softening left lighter area down to the teddy and removing the lace. Any thoughts on any of that?
