I know everyone hates comments on content, but when I looked at this shot, I thought "Wouldn't it be funny if there were someone (or several someones) in the water in the background?" I think the hint of innuendo might add to the draw of the brand. The idea of being in the middle of nowhere comes across, but what about being somewhere so far that noone will see you? Maybe a pile of clothes next to the phone would give the same effect :) Anyway, I like the image, I thought at first that the phone should be larger, but I like it now, it really works.

I don't get it, but that doesn't make it a bad picture. Nice image, probably a good ad for the target market :) A little bit of graininess.

The idea here is interesting, you seem to have over edited a bit, though. The hand is nice and sharp, very good detail, and the pose is a good leader into the center of the frame. The phonebook, unfortunately, is terribly washed out, I wouldn't know what it was without your title. The background is very odd, did you overuse the sharpening tools? There seem to be fuzzy trees with sharp edges, and some of the effect even occurs on the hand. Could also be due to overusing levels. I think you propably have a very strong original, try re-editing to show us that strength.

The dog is adorable, and you have the right idea here. I think what you need to make this shot snap is to bring more focus to the Milkbone itself. Right now the dog dominates the shot, even though your DOF is correct. By bringing the Milkbone to the foreground (larger and more to the center of the image), and shallowing out your DOF a bit more, you can capure the moment while focusing on the product. Essentially, we want to be looking "through" the Milkbone at the dog, rather than from the dog to the Milkbone.

Extra points for humor :) Going with the flow, I'd ask for a tighter crop top and bottom!

Nice ad, wish we could get closer. Could use a bit more focus, not sure if you oversharpened or if the edges are just cranky from the bright light. Good entry!

Why the doorframe? The picture is very sharp and nice, with good color balance, but it's not an ad or even a print. Think about what someone who had never heard of your product/subject/town would get out of your image. Remember that context often shades our own opinion of our photos, but my neighborhood hot dog stand looks pretty much like every other hot dog stand to someone who doesn't know me or my town.

Too bad you couldn't crop that bottom corner. Otherwise a nice, clear ad, good color and sharpness. Would have helped if the bottle was full :)

As nice as your composition is, this looks like a snapshot from the family album. The clouds don't make the theme park look very appealling, and the people are all blurry. we should see smiling faces and sunny skies in a theme park ad.
