I really like the flower in focus but as before mentioned I would have maybe burned out in the back to make the focus point of the flower in the front even stronger.

PS. Thanks for the commment you made on my "Eye of God Image"

The collors and softness are just great
IMO the image should have been even stronger with just the front flower

Hi from the CC,

What an expression! You captured the emotion perfectly. Colours are good, as is the contrast and depth of field. The mouth and important fur are in focus, and I assume the eyes are, too. Some might complain that the eyes are underexposed, but I would disagree; they are perfectly soulful, and help convey the mood. As for the rest of the dog, perhaps it could use some frontal lighting. However, all the detail is observable and there is no noise, so it's certainly not mandatory. The background is sufficiently blurred to shift focus to the dog.

I don't have many negative things to say about this image. Perhaps a slight desat of the background? I'd say you met the challenge requirements, so I have no idea why you got a 1, some 2s, and so many 3s.

This shot ranked lower than it should have, given the competition.

Great job with this shot.

Regards,
Geoff Ball

This is such a good pet photo. I think the DOF and focus are perfect. Your dog is adorable and has such a loving expression. I love the light -- you managed to highlight the whites without losing the detail.
