Hi from the Critique Club...
My first impressions are that the shot is composed ok, although a square crop may have worked better as the area at the top of frame doesn't really enhance the image. There also seems to be a bit of noise showing.
Focus seems ok but there is an overall lack of sharpness to this shot.
If you could have got the dog to look towards the camera then we may have connected with the shot a bit more.
In summary, an ok shot that scored around what it deserved on DPC. Great subject, Good execution, Below average technicals. Work on those and you'll have the DPC formula!
I also suspect that not having a person as a model didn't help the scoring with those voters who expected people rather than pets. |
