Needs a bit more room next to his left ear, and then it would feel balanced. Like the lighting a lot. Great tones with the exception of the one bright spot.

This is an absolutely wonderful photo. You've captured a moment of 'real' life here, a piece of existence we only rarely have a connection with. And, you've done it masterfully with rich tones, a powerful composition, and a simple story. This is a quality photograph. Well done.

Absolutely love the texture in this. I feel like I can actually reach out and touch that flower. Wonderful, subtle tones.

I really love this perspective. You both look larger than life, and yet it is still a very intimate moment.

Your not happy with this because...? There is an interesting story, good detail, great tonal range, and nothing is overexposed or lost in shadow. I'd say its a great success.

I'm glad I'm done with that part of my life. And, this shot truly captures the essense of waking up and feeling like crap one more time. Never thought I'd say this, but nice gutter shot.

A well composed shot with good detail and tonal range. Tough lighting situation, but you handled it well.

Great choice of subject. I love the dog meandering by in the foreground. Your depth of field is a little shallow, however, so that the shack isn't in focus while the dog is. Setting your aperature (f stop) a notch or two higher to 5 or 5.6 (or whatever the settings are on your camera)will increase your dof and make your picture sharper front to back. Because you are shooting at sunset, you may need to increase your ISO to 200 or 400 before you can change the aperature. If you already know all that and intended a shallow dof, please excuse my rambling.

Very creative and fun shot. Nice lighting.

Day 15: Sky

My only problem with this as a silhouette (besides having to spell it) is the lack of a defining shape. While there is an outline of the land against the sky, the only shape is the tree. Perhaps a closer crop isolating the tree would work for the challenge. Just a thought.
