Great shot-love that you caught the stick in the air..the dog's body is a bit dark, but really that doesn't affect the overall feel of this shot. Well done!

nice capture. Over sharpening has created some halos between dark and coloured spaces(dogs head). I like being able to see the white on the water and darkness of the silhouette. 8

Your image here is definitely not low key. it is a "standard" photo, with equal lights and darks. I would call it more of a contrasty photo. A low key photo has almost all darks and very little lights.

This is a great example of a low key photo:

This is a good example of a high key photo:


As you can hopefully see, your image falls in between the two extremes.

You captured a great expression here, but I wish I could see both eyes. Next time, iron the sheet, or use a more uniform background for this type of shot.

A Brother's Love

Greeting from the Critique Club. Thank your for entering your photo to the DPChallenge, Moods.

A good portrait shot of two siblings. They appear happy, healthy and show a great relationship bond between the two. It looks like brother is really showing his affection for his sister. The physical similarities are striking. They both have the same eyes. It looks like a great candid moment, not staged prior, which gives it more appeal.

I am guessing that this was shot outdoors. The natural light hitting the subjects make some parts of the frame a bit light. The afternoon shadows on the faces also hide some detail highlights. Fortunatley, the shadows and highlights were spread over the subjects well. The background is very wash out. It almost has no point of reference as to where they are.

Technically giving this image a black and white conversion, makes it a classic family type photo. The tight crop on the boys head, works well. Also the slight lean of the girl on the boy is very sweet.

I am sure that this photo will be very popular with our voters.

Good luck in your next DPChallenge.
