Target in sight

I'm very biased against pet pictures, for the most part. I have this problem with them...they lack adventure, creativity, and vision on the part of the photographer in many cases.

I can safely say that you have turned my bias on its head with this winner. 8.

Where to Dude?

Excellent framing, beautiful colors, and a technically perfect. The look on your subject is very fitting with your title, something that a lot of people can't ever seem to get right (and by a lot of people...I mean me haha)

Certainly one of the most fascinating images of the challenge. I can't keep you at 8, I find it so interesting...on second review, I find you a 9!

Good eye...although I wonder if B/W would have done it more justice. I think there are some elements that could be adjusted with the image, but the subject is very solid, so I can't knock you as much on little technicalities which, in the end, are really just opinions.

8.

You are number three in my ultra-close up selections! Really well composed, and the color is flawless. 8!

Stubborn

Comment:
I love this shot. The flowing and disrupted girl trying to pull this stubborn and static cow toward her is a very good juxtaposition.

My one qualm about this, is the very large DOF. Either that, or processing which has lent a very clarified look to the entire image. There is just a lot to take in here, and I think that overwhelms the most interesting part of the image.

No matter, still an excellent shot, and worthy of an 8.

Perfectly captured! It lacks the super exciting content of my higher rated entries, but I felt you deserved the 8.
