Hi Tina...

This is the strongest of the three dog photos in your portfolio. The setting is excellent but the light is also a bit strong as well. Your composition here is better because the subject (CJ) is positioned nicely off center in the frame. I'm not sure how much you know about the 'rule of thirds' but it's definitely something that you will want to familiarize yourself with if you are not already aware of it...

Rule Of Thirds

This photo could also benefit from some post processing that we can discuss a little later :)

Hi Tina...

I scored this photo a 6, which means it's slightly above an avarage photo, but not much. The scene you chose here is nice, but there is nothing of particularly strong interest to look at. It is a simple outdoor landscape scene with no strong focal point for the viewer. I don't know how this particular scene could be improved much, especially under the rules of this particular challenge. A scene like this one often takes a bit of 'time of day' research to determine when the best LIGHT is for the shot :) Photography is all about looking for the light. The light will determine whether a scene like this one is strong or just mediocre :)

Great pic. Though I feel these beautiful sparks take away my mind from Tools... Good job!

Get the guard back on that wheel! It really hurts when a grinding wheel simply removes a 1/4inch wide swath of meat. 5

My favorite of the "grinders genre!" The sparks are captured very well here. Nice lighting!

Nice capture, especially the spaks coming off in 3 spots

A totally black background would have gotten another point.

would be even better if the saw was dead center.
