Pink heart bruised

'3/4' - maybe, the quality is not there. I see the idea/concept, but the 'blur', etc takes too much from this. The 'grill' perhaps has potential, but overall this shot has a 'harsh' feel to it in my opinion, especially given your subject, which to be honest I did not 'note' until I read your title/comments re the rose petals.

'6' maybe, likely would have commented about symmetry, the wide framing not 'enhancing' at this size etc. Gave the 'real entry' a 7. Think you made the right choice, unless you could have perfected this one - but two very different shots/choice.

Excellent capture. Great angle/perspective.

He/she looks like a cross between a bear and a dog. Good capture/pose. Angle is nice and sharp. The pink slightly detracts, except just made me realize this must be a 'she'.

Good capture. The green 'lead'/rope is slightly distracting but not overly. A tighter crop at the fore maybe, but then you'd lose some of the good context.

As much as I liked what you did in post processing with this shot for your entry, creating an almost 'watercolor' type of effect and feel, I think the 'query' raised in that thread may be valid after seeing this original. Great shot that even with the fence retained, and similar post processing/cropping as your entry, still likely have achieved another great shot with this. edit: You are right regarding the way you cropped it tight on the left, etc. It may be a case of 'define major element', but it is not my call either way so doesn't matter. I only commented because you posted an out-take (for comment I presumed) and I liked the shot/capture (your entry primarily but this too) and the final result you attained, but also because of the query that was raised - good luck, if indeed you need it at all, who knows.

Wow. Nice. Some details in your comments like 'age' would be good. Slightly different crop, etc too make this even better. Good 'capture' though. edit: given the shot, wondered if it was just 'a day old' etc, so thank you for including those details

Good capture. Like the whiskers contrasting against the fence. A tighter crop perhaps (quality dependent), seeing as some of the tail is already 'gone'. Nice simple background.

'4' - maybe.

'7' possibly even '8', like this. Gave the 'real entry' a 6 (wasn't enough detail in the main subject for me).
