You either have horses, or a really really big cat. Although this photo is full of crap, :) The angle and framing/cropping are good. It is a well set up shot, and although it's a photo of poo, It's not discusting, and that's a difficult task to achieve. Focus and clarity are great. I think I might have liked more light in the back corner though. Just for added contrast. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
I can definitely see your objective with this photo... the lighting situation here just didn't lend itself well to a great shot... there doesn't seem to be enough natural lighting to do the job... - setzler
Oh, it's too early for this shot!! I was tempted to say that I thought it needed a little more light. But I don't think I would want to see THIS in better light. I'll say what I am sure you will hear all week: "Looks like a bunch of crap to me!" hehe But actually, it is well composed and certainly meets the challenge!
The composition is perhaps a little off; it's unclear where one should look within the shot. If the contents of the shovel (scoop type thing :o) ) is the primary subject, then perhaps changing the angle and altering the composition would to make that clear would improve the shot. Lighting too is a little off; it's a bit on the dark side⦠(5)
