Nice shot. I think it would have scored higher except that DPCers seem to prefer rough to smooth. :)

My dog bikkie and your Opie have the same soulful eyes -- even to the extent that the right differs from the left in the same way. How old is he?

you've used light so well here -- the pink tones are still true but the low key setting creates the somber mood. one of my ribbon picks

It's Cyndi Sherman

I don't mind the Warhol reference at all. :D

"Romeo" is a funny addition into the Best of 2002 challenge. I love fun shots, that is what I was really expecting from the 2002 challenge.

This piece itself is nice. I wish your husband was in focus but heck it is just a great shot. The lighting is interesting how it is just capturing him from the right hand side of the image. I like the border it makes the photograph feel more complete, also a nice addition since the windows are framed. Overall I think this was a fun photo and I am glad you entered it. I can obviously tell from your portfolio that your technical skills have greatly improve and your creativity is still present!

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

This is just ok. Lots of dead space, which really does very little for me. I see no emotion, no story, nothing unexpected, or any wow factors as a candid shot. It's just ok. A 3 from me.

Great use of blue. I like his off centeredness. The leading line of the curb works with the perpendicular line of the stones around the building creating some neat geometry. Well done! 8

I like this composition. I can see you wanted the image to be dark, but I think a little more contrast would do better.
