Don't take this the wrong way but as I see DPC as a learning experience here is my frank critique:

This comes across as a snapshot. By that I mean that I feel that anybody standing where you were with a camera could have gone click and got this result. I think a photographer should aim to do more than that. I may be wrong and perhaps you do have more of a story to your shot but the fact is that it doesn't come across to the viewer.

As an example, if you were in Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower you could hold the camera and go click. You'd have a shot that millions of other tourists have and would be good as a record of your holiday. I think at DPC you need more than that. You need to consider the POV - make it something that enhances the tower (include a flowerbed or kissing couple in the foreground), make use of lighting (dusk for shadows), composition (maybe include the buildings beside it to get a sense of scale).

I hope this helps and please don't be offended, I'm only offering an opinion.

Well, I just like this for its nonconformity. The photograph is deliberately unfinished; nothing is certain. And that lets the viewer into it to wander around and investigate. The guys are wearing work clothes. They're not young guys. They're discussing something. No rush, though ... it's something that requires some measured consideration. As much looking as talking. Are they nurserymen, perhaps? The dog has an injured leg, and so must wear the embarrassing Elizabethan collar. But he doesn't neglect his duties, watching his master's flanks. It's a charming, mature photograph and makes some demands of the viewer. That's the best kind. 9.
