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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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.
