I don't get this- I mean the vote...fickle finger of dpc'ers is all I can say:). Free study's are too much for me- just too many entries. I like this as a soft focus sweet moment .
Looks like you did the same thing as I did - entered a cute moment in time that you really like, but seems the voters don't appreciate it as much as we do, right? I think it's really cute. Maybe either a bit MORE blur would have helped? Either way, it's cute and funny. :)
Here are the things I like. I really like the lines. I like the contrast. And I like the exposure. Those things are key. I think you just missed the focus a bit as it is on the front post. I also think if there was something in the fingers it would have helped. Still I like the lines a lot.
OK I will be honest and say that I did not like this shot very much. IMO there is always a bit of a risk in taking an abstracty/humourous shot like this in that unless it is excuted perfectly then there is a chance that it will not do very well and (again imo) the focus is slightly off on the fingers and the goats mouth (which is the key element of the shot). In a free study especially when there is normally such a plethora of overwhelming images ones with even a slight 'error' get far lower marks than they would normally do
Having said all that I do think the idea was great and I did like the framing of the image
well alicia .. i've just read all the comments ... and OMG you were 6 away from a ribbon .. BROWN !! lol .. gotta laugh instead of cry eh ?!! .. this is just a temporary hiccup from which you will recover .. its all a learning experience ....
how do you feel about this photograph after having read the comments .. ??
you really did suffer from the lack of focus on your subjects .. :)
A cute shot - you know what the technical issues are but the moment you've shared is a nice one.
Can't add any more than that. It is a lovely moment. I know that non-DPC-ers look at photos with different eyes with the rest of us - it's sometimes a good thing and sometimes not to ask their opinions ;-)
The lack of focus on your subject (the hand and the nose) hurt the score here more than anything else, I suspect. My problem with it was the imaginary food. :-) It looked as though a child was feeding the animal, but there's nothing there! I do like the anticipation of the critter - and the fact you can't see its face.
