Can anything be done to raise score for International Comp?

[Angela_Lawson]

Hi all. This is one of the images I sent in for Print Comp at Mid-East Regional for my first competition. It scored a 77. I'm okay with that since I've never entered comp. before, but I was wondering if there was anything that I could do to bring the score up to merit possibility? I know that the other two that scored 76's probably can't be salvaged, but any thoughts for this one?

Oh, BTW, my title was "Chubby Cheeks".

Thanks.

Hi Angela;

I am sorry but there is no hook - no impact or story telling. I can't see it going higher than a 78. It is very cute and a terrific image for a client.
