Giorgio! Just saw your name this morning on the DPC list of 2014 participants.

SO glad to see you back. I hope all is well with you.

Your 'old' teammate from Imagination.

Lovely shot, by the way.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

21_F.gif Juliannj - gee whiz, lady, you sure do know how to take a sky photograph!

This image is splendid and your excellent score in a Free Study lets you know that your fellow voters agree.

Your handling of lights, darks and colors work well in this sky study.

About all I can say, is "keep up the good work!"

Alice

PS - and if you get this twice, well, I still mean it!

Well, backdoorhippie, "back at ya."

Now it's my turn to critique one of yours!

Going strictly on what you show in the image and your title, whoa: "way too busy" "what's the subject?"
Those are the first questions that come to mind. Then, hey, what a strange mask; a dog's face would fit
in one of those. If I was voting I'd just go with the first 2 observations and keep going.

But looking at it in a critiquing mode - especially with your explanation, I'd just say that you had a great
story to tell, but the story needed to be distilled down to its essentials. There is so much information
in there, the super story was lost. (IMO of course)

Thank you for this image. I did wonder, upon occasion, how the dogs were protected, or even if they were
protected.

Edges, indeed! A plethora of them and all in focus and all nicely composed to make a good image.

You received a good score, but not a 'great' score. Why?

Well, except for the voting gods, who know all, I'll hazard one guess.

Where is the point of interest? If there happened to be one large, transparently gorgeous water drop, would that have made folks stop and look at these deep and glorious reds? Or in other words, something to set off these
delightful patterns and hues would have made the voter/viewer say "oh, look at this!" and up the score would go.
(Maybe)

Always fun to look, in depth, at one of your images, Janine. Keep 'em coming.
