Nice sumbission. Background coloring is a little distracting. Some with shadows on fries.

Critique Club Assignment:

Initial: So cute! My original comment I gave during the voting I think says it all, but I will attempt to be a bit more detailed.

Composition: Nice background, and arrangement. Makes for an adorable subject easy to view at length.

Technical: Too blurry.. even a tad more sharpness would give this a soft focus effect..

Overall: I like the expression on the dog, and the lighting is well done.

Good job overall, still awaiting the reshoot :P

Hi everybody,

Thanx for the many comments, I enjoyed them much!
Here's a little video made by me showing why I could not make it better:
//adams_nentwich.bei.t-online.de/kaja.avi. It's a compilation of the successful pictures I took of our 9-month-old dog Kaja. She never wanted to sit still as you can see.
Therefore and do to my bad light equipment, I had to select a high ISO-value and a too fast shutter-speed to get at least something.
NeatImage and some sharpening were needed to make the image look a little better.
Still, we had a tremendous amount of fun while making the pictures and reading all the comments during voting was fun too.

Thanx john for the Critique: I agree with all you wrote.

Acctually, I had no choice about the light: in the whole week of the challenge we had fog and only on sauturday there was sun forecasted.
But on that day I had to work and only got a 15 minutes break on which I rushed to the building which was then just out of it's own shadow.

My intention was to make a strange looking submission to the challenge. The comments showed me that it worked.
Therefore I have choosen the sepia toning to make the picture look even more strange.

Thanx again John for your critique.
Jörg

Nice cute composition...but focus could be better, but that's probably from subject movement.
