The fact that is is so un-sharp simply shows laziness. The background is also very boring. I'm sorry this could have been a potentially interesting shot, but the lack of any effort completely destroyed it.

Good focus on a pretty bird.

This was the photo that I scored the lowest in this challenge and I thought I should give you the courtesy as why. The out-of-focus does nothing for me here (intentional or not) and the setting is more distracting that adding to the composition, including the window reflection on the bottle.

That said, this does meet the challenge and the egg in the bottle is unique and clever so this got a 3 from me.

focus must always be the highest priority (as I'm finding out in the current FS)...if it isn't crystal clear...it will always hurt you on this site (again....my FS, currently getting hammered for a little "soft in focus") but I'm learning as well.

She looks very relaxed. Or despondent. I can't quite tell. And I like the way both of the outside viewers are turned toward the center one - like a bunch of gossips just out enjoying a winter's day.

Good concept, but needs a lot of help photographically. Not sure if I'm seeing camera shake or if it's out of focus. A shallower depth of field could blur the background, if your camera is capable (try shooting at the widest aperture (lowest aperture number); with a point and shoot you may need to increase the distance between subject and background. You can straighten the photo using an editing program, unless the tilt is intentional

Sorry!! I had to vote a 1 here though. My reason was that your photograph didn't show any distinct foreground or background framing of your main subject.



Per this comment, and this comment, plus a private message, I have decided to give you a new score, It is now a 2 for the other qualities of this image (despite what I feel is still a DNMC image). Now go thank Bear_Music for he does make good sense sometimes, or at least inspires me to be a bit more open minded (or at least punish people slightly less for what I see as either shoehorning or a failure to take a reasonably literal interpretation of the rules..)

Cute dog - can't quite see the framing in this photo though. Please let me know if I missed the point.
