Greetings from the Critique Club!

I think DPC voters are chronically allergic to techniques involving stuff like zoomblur, long exposure, subject tracking...they seem to lerve their images clean, sharply focused and usually saturated to death. *cough cough a certain primarily seascape photog*

Anyway I think that's the main problem here, cause I can feel myself running alongside or just behind Joie, trying to keep up with an unleashed dog running and shooting at the same time! Maybe the light is a teeny bit on the blown-out side; the dog's face, were it towards us, would probably have helped this image score higher. Comp and lighting are suitable for the subject.

Hope this has been helpful

Susan

I might have rated higher, had there been more motion blur. My eyes went to the fence rather than the car shadow. It just didn't work for me.

Shouldn't we see the subject's face?

First the words. Turns of phrase that resonate on the harmonics of memories growing up with the sea nearby... Then the images. Sparkling abstractions and shadowy gestures of retreat swinging by the same rope.

I find it hard to respond to these images and tropes at anything beyond a viseral intuition. Impossible for critique to add or define meaning. Only to share the vague presence of salt air and indistinct sound amid the whiteness.
