Critique Club Review:

Very interesting photo. The picture definetly has a center of interest, but is it really a subject? Almost a 3-D effect, I half expect my mouse cursor to fall in the "hole". I would have really expected this picture to do better. I can only guess that it was a little more abstract than some people were ready for. Exposure is good, contrast is good, saturation and hue are just fine. This does break the "rule of thirds" for purists, but it would not have worked as well had the hole been off center. If anything, maybe cropping the picture to a square, to play off the circle, might help. Otherwise I think it is a fine abstract piece, and certainly meets the challenge.

in my opinion the composition is a bit boring ... to me, a better perspective would have been down at his level ... cute puppy though, he seems peaceful

Nice colours in the sky but I feel the sunset is ruined by the wires.
