well....in the end, not that it matters much, this shot was not blown out...it was shot using a IR filter and then inverted to get the animal the right color. The background and some of the features are tell tales of the shot not being blown out. I'm not angry about this, a shot should not need to be explained, so I take this "failure" as a learning experience.
Oooooooooooo, the light, the light! Let me get my sunglasses! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. You are probably tired of hearing that. But the light, while brilliant like your pet I'm sure is a bit overpowering and really takes away from the animal itself. No detail in those areas. But I still like the overall compsition and feel of the shot so a 7 for you! ;)
Maybe going on the the abstract side of the challenge I don't know? But I feel the over exposure is killing the shot somewhat, from what I can tell the DOF is pretty good yet spoilt by all the white reflections.
This is my secong go-around =) - I am not too crazy about all of the over-exposure. But thinking this was intentional... I would have liked to see the photo cropped a little differently... the great dane's eyes are in the center of the photograph (eyes are normally the focus of portraits) so I would have centered the dog differently (rule of thirds).
