I have to agree with Justin. This image has a lot going for it - leading lines, color, textures. This is simply just a beautiful capture that just unfortunately got lost in the mix. Definitely a bit underrated IMHO.

Awww, so sad. Unfortunately, the black of the dog really blends too much with the stove in the background, which wrecked the line of the dog. A different placement of the subject may have given it a better separation of subject from background.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

What a lovely idea for the shot and a very nice overall set up. I really like the idea of the leaves in the glass and the glass on the leaves. They compliment each other that way.

Looking at the shot the first things that jump out at me is the contrast between the background (nice and white) and inside the glass near the leaves (lots of gray tones). Not sure if that's the glass or the light going through the glass. If the color inside the glass area was as white as the background, showing only the borders I'm betting this would have jumped at least another point. And if the entire glass was clear, with no blue on the bottom, really showing the leaves all the way through, top to bottom. The blue is nice but doesn't really work with the colors you have presented. This was an advanced editing so you could change the color of the upper part of the glass so it's as white as the background. If you do play with this at all and change that I would love to see the results, I bet it would be stunning overall.

I like your work so far, you've been improving right along and I can't wait to see more of your work in the future.

Hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges.

The expression on that poor dogs face is priceless! The photo would be perfect if there was more contrast between the oven door and (her?) shoulder.

Adding this to my favorites. 9

awww bad doggie - such a great idea and I don't think there are any others like it in this challenge, good job making an image about something more than just "garbage" - and it still fits the challenge really well - nice work :)

Very nice. There is something I really like about this photo, but I can't put my finger on it. Nice duotone qualities.

This is a gorgeous image. Looking back, I see that I gave it an 8. Not so crazy about the half-cropped shed on left; but otherwise find the composition and colors extremely pleasing. Nice job.
