I'm sure nothing you haven't already heard before about the technical aspects of this shot (focus, exposure, etc.) - BUT, the composition is really outstanding. Can't believe you got them all to pose long enough to get a shot off. Well done.

Where is the basic shape of trianle?. You can't leave it to the user to imagine a triangle?

Now, this is a wonderful composition but camera technique has robbed your merits here a bit. Well exposed and focused, this image could have scored in the top 5. You get my 6 for the wonderful composotional strength.

How did you get them to pose???

I like the concept. However, the dogs on the bottom of the picture seem overexposed, as the brightest part of the picture they capture your attention and are a little out of focus. Don't really care for all the red hue in this picture.

Ha ha ha . A bit sharpening would help to improve! Nice shot.

A fun concept, but the photo seems really washed out and somewhat out of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a great idea, and I'm amazed that you were able to get them to pose like this! Unfortunately, the tone and sharpness of the shot have somewhat of a polaroid instant-photo feel to it, though.

Nice idea, but there are blown out highlights and the picuter is slightly out of focus.

Too funny!!!

9! Great shot, love the idea - especially the originality of it. A little sharper and it would have been a 10. Hope you didn't have to sacrifice some of the clarity just to post it on the website. I know that can happen and it SUCKS!

haha, wish this photo wasn't so blown out.

What great dogs! IMHO it looks a little overexposed, especially on the center dog. Great concept!

Did you staple liver to the steps to get all of those dogs to stay there for the photo? I know how hard it is to get that many dogs to sit still! Good job posing them. A couple of thoughts. When submitting photos, try to make at least one dimension the maximum allowable for DPC, 640 Pixels. People HATE small photos here. Less than 640 and you are cheating yourself. I also found it helpful to change the size, then do a final sharpening, looking at it at 100% resolution.

This looks slightly OOF on my screen,

watch out for color cast! this almost looks like an old polaroid -- hitting ctrl-b in PS can help you fix this. nice shot otherwise.

I have 2 pugs myself.

Wow, how long did THAT take? Such good dogs!
The focus seems a bit soft and the color cast bothers me, but the idea is cute.

Very cute... gotta love all 4 legged family members. Photo wise, need some clarity, seems very blurry... good try though!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/12/2005 09:12:46 AM
Yeah, I'm not sure that one in the middle is a pug... =]

Great shot. The pose itself is worth a million bucks. good luck.

Did you glue them to the floor? Very obedient dogs! Cute idea for the challenge.

nice idea but can you adjust your levels and brightness/contast. you're collie type dog (not sure what it is) seems blown out by too much light. Man I bet their eating bill is HUGE. lol good luck

 05/11/2005 10:34:59 AM
nice idea seems to be laking detail and focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great idea. Pitty about the table legs in top left & seems a bit out of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/11/2005 09:58:55 AM
how ever did u get them to sit still?!! hightlights slightly blown on bottom center dog and a little more contrast on this wouldve made me vote a 9...as is i have to go for a 8 for creativity and patience
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/11/2005 09:43:05 AM
Really cute idea. They posed well for you! Middle dog on bottom a little washed out, and that thing in the top left is distracting. I love the shot, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/11/2005 08:03:50 AM
Could have benefitted from more contrast I thought.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/11/2005 07:18:10 AM
the idea is really great - but the photo is a bit static.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/11/2005 01:21:55 AM
So cute, but seems a little overexposed. Still giving a good number for cuteness and creativity.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/11/2005 12:45:31 AM
Overexposed, but your composition looks great
