Carriage Driver and Dog

This has a lot of potential, and has good tonal range. Unfortunately, the mirror gives it the feelign of a snapshot taken from a car. Would also like to see the dog and drivers' faces, or a little closer up.

Comment by nards656:
I think, frustratingly enough, that the most "negative" part of this shot - scorewise - is the woodgrain and the dominance of brown. I think a black tablecloth and some kind of rug would have kept the exposure under better control and brought my eye more to the desired focal point. The grain and the light color of the wood makes my eyes wander.

The white balance feels a little blue, too.

On this site there are pics I see that I say "just misses." I often can't put my finger on the exact reason. This is one. I think it's the contrast that's subtely distracting to me. 6

I HATE that this seems like a good idea sometimes....

Comment by shutterpuppy:
i think that "self hate" is perfectly acceptable interpretation for this challenge, but this picture just doesn't work technically. the blade is not differentiated enough from the background and the color conversion comes across as muddy on the skin tones. composition also needs help, pullout out a bit might have helped. - 3

i don't think this works to well, i don't know if the car mirror was meant to add to this but IMO it does not. It also looks kind of an opportune shot that was taken as you drove by and thought " ahh quick camera lets take this"
