 A YAPPIE sucker is given to a commentor for either a particular comment or a history of great comments. The Hoovers of the Suck League are proud to announce the awarding of the YAPPIE sucker to one of our own:  Noraneko.
"I would like to nominate noraneko for a YAPPIE. Not because of how many comments she leaves, even though she does, but because of the type of comments she leaves. example.
'First, please note you got six 10's for this shot, which is great. In other words, a lot of people really love this photo!
I'm middle-of-the road about this photo. What I love: the perspective, the expression, and the snow on the dog's jowels. Really gives a great sense of playfulness and captures the essence of the moment. What kept me from scoring higher: I found the DOF a bit short (would love to have seen the eyes and ears in crisp focus) and wish that top ear were in photo. Finally - and I think this is the biggest element to me - the snow in the background is very bright and drew my eyes away from the subject. It may look different on different monitors, though. I've had that issue myself with several photos, especially my peacock love shot (looks great on my moniter and like absolute *&$% on my hubby's monitor). What I would suggest: perhaps try just a bit of dodging to the whites of your dog's eyes (obviously not too much or he'll end up looking like Casper the Ghost.)
I realize how hard it is to put all those elements together when shooting animals, as the darn things just won't stay still :-)' "

| I'll echo Christian's sentiments - a very well deserved and long overdue Yappie. You take such care and kindness in commenting on pictures and take the time to see things that others often miss. It's a small token of our appreciation, but we really do appreciate your efforts! |
