First of all I want to say that I'm not the best at rating a photo "Technically". I guess I don't know that much about tonal range and all that other neat stuff. However, I do know if I like a photo or find it appealing.

Sooooooo,

I think this is a really nice shot. It kind of reminds me of something that, whats her name, the name slips my mind, Oh yeah, I know, silverfoxx would do. Believe me Catherine, that's a big time compliment. I'm not sure DPC would appreciate this shot but I think it's great.

excellent photo Catherine, a girl with puppies and people watching them.it makes me think about privacy of course, and also I would love to hear her story! I have a feeling no matter what I imagine her story is the real story would be deeper than I imagine. great idea, but I also agree with Jayson, maybe a bit too strong on the blue side, but maybe this is also what makes the photo so strong?

Wow, that is a powerful shot, Catherine. So much emotion, definitely makes me want to know her story. And the evidence of people outside of the box looking in tells another part of it. Evokes a sense of no one being willing to rescue her from whatever brought her to this cage.

I like the light coming in and the mood of the child really works well. The three sets of legs around the case give this alot of character. I am not sure of the blue. I know you were going for cyanotype and to fit the mood, I just think it is a little too strong in the blue department. Still an interesting shot and does make you think which is always a good thing.

She looks so forlorn! The story I see is that these are her puppies and she has to give them away to strangers... I like the boots in the lower left corner and the legs in the window. Also really like how the window is dirty from puppy noses. There's also a sadly disturbing interpretation to this as well. I like the picture.

Ha! I love it! If this photo had "good technicals" it would be pointless. Instead, it's a whole story, a whole movie, a whole feeling.

Wink!

I like what you did in post on this one. Sharpness and exposure is great. I am guessing that was ice traditional what they were sitting on? Simple patterns, very nice texture. A good shot for the challenge.

I enjoyed this. It almost has a Lichtenstein feel to it, haha. The muting of the whites worked well, really softened it. I noticed the effect while voting yet processing did not shout out to me, which is good. Btw, the face has such an old-fashioned look - like a chubby boy from a cereal box from 60 years ago. Very cute, and good spot!
