Just stumbled into this. As someone who's has both cats and dogs, I think the raw humor of it is pretty good. That said, guns are bad, so that muted the reaction for me. Maybe a less topical weapon, like a bow and arrow, or a catapult.

It would've been even funnier if you'd figured out a way to have one of your dogs appearing to own the gun.

Yeah, that's it! Show a dog with one paw about to release a catapult, with a cat in it! 'Cause that's subtler.

LOL.

Why the flowers? They ruined this shot imo. Also a longer shutter time would have given a more dreamlike effect to the water.

The image is great without the flowers and the added rocks seem very out of place. This would have been great with the natural rocks and water only.

I feel this would have been better without flowers on rocks. Just the rocks would have give more "natural" feeling. Still a well executed photo.6.

Comment by Makka:
I would of liked to have seen a bit more depth of field on this one to get the chips in the foreground more focused. The subjects don't seem to pop from the background enough either. Good effort though.

very nicely done - I think a little more room on the bottom would have been nice:-)

good composition, good dof, good rich color. I think if people understood composition better your score would be higher.

I like this image a lot; however, I gave it a 5. The water is almost 50% of the image and mostly out of focus. As negative space, it really doesn't help the image. If might want to try a square crop or even a horizontal crop to minimize the water as much as possible without removing the beach/water connection.
