five little pups

Excellent puppy portraits. They are well-focued, the lighting is great, they make an adorable subject. For me, the white chair is distracting with the gaps behind the puppies and the large white space at the bottom (I kept waiting on the image to fully load and then realized it was!). This is still one of my highest rated in the challenge, but I would have given it a 10 with a different setting. Those little faces are just irresistable!

This is an excellent idea for the challenge! There's something I don't like about the gentleman's clothing, but I can't "put my finger on" exactly what it is. I think it may be the colors. Anyway, it's lovely and very appropriate for the challenge. -9-

You and I have a similar entry, altho I believe yours is a notch up from mine! :) I'm not doing as well as I had hoped with it. I hope my "9" will help out your average if you're suffering from the "don't like soft focus" crowd!

To be a kid again...

Excellent idea for the challenge. I love the reflection of the sky in the wet sand. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have a little more space in front of the child and perhaps a little higher angle so you could see the footprints better. But, hey, what do I know? I've never ribboned!! :) -9-
