Zeuszen's comment below makes sense to me from the technical point of view, but the composition is sooooo perfect that I have to add this to my favorites now. Just think, it's over two years since you took this picture and I have just now discovered it thanks to the "Favorite all time dpc photo" thread in the forums. Xion posted your shot. And I'm happy he did.

Not exactly a technical tour-de-force (the exposure is beginning to wash out the sky and unable to render tones in the brightest margins/the horizon has a slight counter-clockwise tilt/the crop/framing is tight enough above the woman's head to distract from her grand and solitary splendour), but what a hilarious and surreal capture!

Although the casual, snap-shot manner contributes some charm to this image, a slight corrective rotation is, IMHO, needed to make it credible.

The shot is and remains priceless!

Nice! This is the kind of picture that I probably would not hang on my wall, but which I could see in a museum, or which could inspire a painting...it's different, and it not only fits the challenge, but it gives a unique feeling of its own. I would probably have increased the contrast a bit more, but other than that, a 10.

Shallower DOF and this could really take off.

I don't know exactly how this fits the challenge - but I absolutely LOVE this photo. It is my top pick.

You captured a terrific moment, and I suppose walking the dog can be considered a habit. So an 8 for you.

A refreshing entry among the "ugly" submissions. This is very well done.
05/21/2004 09:42:32 AM
nice

Is dog walking the habit? A bit shaky on the theme to me. The woman is blurry, which is a problem as a primary subject, and the dog seems to blend in to the background too well. These two issues really undermine the strength of the subjects.

This is an absolutely classic picture. Good composition. Nice wide-angle. About everything is right. 10
05/20/2004 12:48:57 PM
Surrealist? :) For me, 10!

Very nice tones, but what is the habit?
05/19/2004 03:14:06 PM
This would have been a funny perspective shot with the camera right up next to the dog! Is the dog trying to get away? Is he afraid he's supper?

Good photo

Nice photo. Not getting the habit here, I guess titles do make a difference :( I really like the setup though - very sharp with good blacks and whites. 7

I can't imagine what this photo has to do with habits, but i really like it. :-)
