The Gathering

Love this nighttime scene showing a gathering of people at an outdoor event! Their shapes are contrasted against the lighted building and the light falls on the dark water illuminating the ripples on the surface. My one critique is that I think there is too much negative space that lessens the visual impact of the people gathering and the light reflected on the water's surface. My suggestion is to crop 1/4 off the bottom and a little off the top to give it a more widescreen look; giving the photo the feel of a scene in a move and bringing the viewer a bit closer to the gala/social.

So yeah, who could resist the puppy dog eyes beaming in to their pet owner?:-) Here it is not about food but 'can we come in...where it is nice and warm and plenty of nice cozy warm seats?" This just radiates cuteness. Instead of a straight on shot this one is angled and I feel it actively places the viewer in the frame as one approaches the door this is what we see. Great job in capturing the right moment where you have the Yorkie on the far left looking in, the Yorkie in the middle paws up on the sill beaming cute rays, and the one on the far right is also captured in frame in the window pane.

To me, if you had turned this black and white, with a little structure to the clouds, this would be a 10.
