Most photos that are this busy, aren't my favorite shots, however I think this is fabulous. I think you did a great job starting with your color coordination, then lighting, and finally composition. Fantastic image. GL.
8 - Yes, very good. Like the clarity and pop on the dog/elf. Two main things, and both fairly minor, the fire - perhaps softened more and the poinsettia softened a fraction too, in line with the toy(?) at the fore..
Oh, good grief. Seriously? How am I supposed to vote this low? I mean, I want to - you've dressed up a dog and stolen away any dignity it might have had. Hey - you faked the blur on the monster on the left! HA! I knew I'd find something.
I love it I love it I love it... For me it is perfect! Funny and sweet... I gave you a 10, and I am really hoping to see this one on the front page, it is my favorite :D
Wonderfully lit scene. Maybe a bit harsh in the highlights and slightly oversharpened for the resolution. Still highly rated and one of my favorites in the challenge.
A very cute and humorous photo. I could tell you put a lot of effort into composing the shot with the right elements from the jingle bells on the doggie's hat to the toys by the tree, the poinsetta and the chimney...
Only thing is - I don't think Santa will want to come down the chimney with the fire lit;-)
Lighting is good but there seems to be a slight, and I say slight, yellowish cast to the image. Playing around with selective desat could help remove that color cast. Overall a creative and cute composition.
Oh, this is precious!!!! Have you considered this shot as your Christmas card? I'm sure that an online ecard company would LOVE this shot!!!! Or, how about a stock photo site??? Just an all around great shot!!! Makes me smile. My best friend growing up wsa a chihuahua!
