American Gothic - Revisited

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Wonderful subjects, composition, light and colour. This is just tremendous Johannah - I loved it when I saw it in your Flickr portfolio and I love it here. Makes me want to take a deep breath. Her dress against the green door and the French Bulldog pocking through the hatch is just marvellous. And chickens too!

Critical stuff: Perhaps the right foot distorted by the lens and its proximity looks a bit odd for some audiences (but personally I think it adds to the quirkiness of the image).

Overall: Just spectacularly accomplished. I hope this ribbons.

What a really fun photograph. I think the dog in the doggy door really adds a special touch.

The quirkiness of this just puts it over the top for me. Even with a 4th place, you were robbed.
