Greetings from the Critique Club :)

This photograph has some interesting color and texture for sure. The square concept is clearly visible here, even though it is a bit abstract.

I believe that there are several reasons that this photo did not score so well... First of all, There is not really a defined subject, as is the case in many abstract photos. Abstract photos, in general, don't seem to be as well received here for some reason. DPC, for some reason, likes tangible subject matter for the most part. I believe that creating a little 'depth' for this image may have been an improvement also. The image is rather flat from this camera angle. Maybe adding some wrinkles to the fabric would have enhanced the depth as well...

Keep up the good work :)

Where are the ears of the bigger dog? I also am missing one of his front legs. I can't tell for sure but it looks like the bigger is straddling the smaller. Neat idea of way of taking the photo, It is either out in the snow, or you spot edited. And I don't think you would break the rules. Nice sharp focus with very vivid colors. Would like to have seen all of the dogs, feet and tails. But nice job.

I think the white background and the darkness of the dogs makes them a little hard to look at. I like your composition - it's different and works quite well

I like the pose of the two dogs. I find the background is too washed out.

This would have been an excellent shot. some how their is some weird noise going on. Not sure what you did to it. Would love to see the original.

Looks like there's something taken out of the photo ... like the background ... or the image was sharpened too much. I always like pictures of dogs, though.

Comment by daysez:
Classie composition, but to me something looks strange like the dogs are cutouts placed in the snow and rephotographed. I see an outline around the dogs and I don't know what is causing it, do you?

Cool dogs, but it looks like a snapshot.
