Kindred Spiritsby
hahn23Comment by Sting11165: My first impression is that the image is nice, but it doesn't have that something extra. The title is appropriate though and helps me. I guess what really bothers me about the image is the man is focused on the dog, but the dog is looking elsewhere and doesn't really care. I really want the dog to look at the man! Good luck controlling a dog though.
Great sharpness and depth of field. You really nailed that on this one, which isn't always easy. The color is good, but could be a little more saturated. Composition is excellent, I can't really see any better crop for it.
The watch draws my attention, not in a bad way, but it draws me a little more than either the dog or the man's face.
Not really sure what to suggest to help the image, a lot of getting good candids is just getting lucky and having them do something interesting in front of you. I give it a 6, mostly for the technical quality of the image.

Viral Comment Experiment (
VCE). The VCE is an experiment to see if a large number of quality comments can be generated in a fashion similar to chain letters. The first time you receive a VCE comment,
randomly choose five (5) images from this challenge (or another challenge) and leave quality, useful comments/critiques like this one. Make sure to mention good things as well as bad things. Then, see how many you receive in return over the next few weeks. Make sure you copy this VCE notice at the end of each comment.
[Obligatory chain letter threat] If you do not make five quality comments within 24 hours, your hard drive will crash and your camera's shutter will fail at an inopportune moment.
