Nice night-time action shot! The lighting at these venues is always bad. I think a b/w version of this shot may have done better in the challenge.

I think some more saturation, or a more colorful background would help you out a whole lot. Your dog is a great model and your composition and timing is excellent in my honest opinion.

Would have been better for me if there was a little more contrast in the grey areas and if the green was a little greener.

I'm trying to comment on every image I vote on and I'm trying to be constructive, but honestly I don't have anything for this one... It lacks any sense of drama or creativity IMHO.

More contrast maybe?

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: The good old plastic chair. It is something that everyone can relate to. But that red pot is distracting, especially against that background. It makes the image too busy. I like the off centre composition. You did well there.

Technical: The chair seems soft. I can see that the camera has focused on the beam of wood at the bottom behind the chair. Try and focus on the chair and then recompose to get the composition. I would like to see some Shadow/Highlight to bring out the beautiful texture details of the wood.

Overall: I think you chose a great image for the challenge but with a few minor corrections this could have scored much better.

sorry but i don't get it.
personally, even though it is alternative medicine, I think people should understand a picture immediately w/o descriptions etc. but i'll give you a five for effort
