I really want to like this because of that cute little dog. Unfortunately, there is a whole lot of background that is distracting attention away from the little cuty.

for better composition, you might try to get those feet in the picture. To really make the image zing, talk the guard into facing into the picture...

Still, good 'n sharp where it should be and meets the Challenge.

great idea; strange looking sky adds to the illusion.

Greetings from the Critique Club

(Or should that be "good day, mate!") Anyhow, I'm pleased to have drawn this pleasant image to critique. I very much like the black & white treatment of the subject with good values all across the board.

Certainly, the photograph meets the Challenge perfectly and the voters noted that nicely.

I would suggest that in Composition, you have given the viewer a great deal of information and perhaps your score would have risen if you could have eliminated some of it. For example, the house with that typical Aussie roof, the sign and maybe the fence could work well. I know, I wasn't there, you were, and perhaps it just wasn't possible to isolate the sign any more. So, really, this is just general information for you to think about.

Finally, I would suggest that when you ask for a comment from the Critique Club, it would be very helpful to us if you would add your own notes to the Photographer's Comments section of the entry form. hen we'll know what you were striving for in your image.

I get the impression from your other Challenge entries that you are enjoying yourself at DPC and I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.

Alice
