Lighting doesn't make sense to me,coming from different directions. Very nice outcome though.

Nice lighting.... but it makes the leaf look plastic :(

Did you unsharp mask it? the edges also look "cut out".

Take me home!

I like the selection (you did well isolating the toy), but the chicken wire and shed in the background are distracting. I think this would've been better with a shallower depth of field.

"A bicycle with peanut butter" obviously by the titlle meets the crazy requirements of the Pick Two challenge.

I think based on the challenge it was hard to come up with a pretty picutre, by I do like the artistic feel of the image. I really like how smooth and balanced the peanut butter is, you did not just throw it on. I really like the way you shot this a little darker and edgier possibly to give more of that artistic feel. The glow from the piece that hold the petal (sorry for the lack of terminology) shows a nice focus and allows it too feel more balanced. The levels in the piece flow very naturally nothing is harsh or forced.

Excellent close up. Not too bad of a placement, but personally I thought it would finish higher I gave it a 7. Keep up the good work.

I still like this and find it much more artful than many that placed higher.

Let's play!

Greetings from the Critique Club Anna,

Cool Border collies! I have two myself.

You received some really good comments on this that I feel offer you a lot of insight. The brick wall and the framing alone would make for a really good shot alone, and the dogs playing in the snow would also make for a good shot. With both in the same shot they are competing for attention and overwhelm the viewer. When I look at the photo I see the brick wall, and then it�s like �hey there are two dogs down there too.� One or the other would be better for me.

Technical wise, the snow is very over exposed. Shooting a photo with part snow and part not snow is difficult. Also, the photo is not really sharp and could use a little tweeking of the colors.

Hope you find this helpful. Good luck on future challenges!
