Look what I found!

I really like the light on the worm, it looks really cool. Although, I feel like the overall brightness of the picture could be boosted up a bit. Great job and idea!

I love how the light falls harsher on the worm. I although have the opposite suggestion, pull the light/ exposure down, so that the background isn't as well lit. Try to get it to a point where you can still see detail in the child, but where the hot spot stands out as the strongest portion of the image

Great shot, really love the idea of having the worm in the light like that!

I think its almost close to perfect which is why you have 2 very different views on how to improve it lol! Maybe just upping the contrast slightly might be a good inbetween suggestion?
