Ha, ha... me neither. The concept relies entirely on the distinctive background to stand out in the crowd. With more time, I might have been able to REALLY camouflage her or get a more interesting expression (she looks bored). This was like a 90 minute speed challenge for me, so I can't complain.
I still like it better than my October Free Study, though, and that one was one of my high scores, so I'll be looking at it for a while. :-( |

OK, time to fess up & be honest.
I have looked at this shot over & over, and thought it was a scalvert original and placed well, it just didn't do "something" for me.
Don't get me wrong, as it's all done right, just maybe isn't my kind of shot? I certainly won't be a hypocrite and add to the ooohs and ahhs just to go with eveyone else. You are a very creative and gifted photographer, but as we all know, nobody can please everybody all the time.
Respectfully, and hopefully still friends?

And another very creative shot! When I saw this one I was amazed and stoned to the chair. I see this picture on the 1 , 2, 3, 4 place! Not lower! People who gave a 1 or 2 or 3 to this pic should be banned for voting :)
I bet you're happy with the result... well don't be YOU've BEEN ROBBED!

| This is almost abstract. Some will hate it. Some will like it. I am really a bit unsure, but I think you captured the dog beautifully. I am just not sure about the background. It definitely makes it stand out, which is probably a good thing with so many entries. Good luck. |

| Great portrait of a dog, his eyes really speak a story here. Love the lighting in this shot. Only thing I am going to nitpick about is the composition. I haven´t personally taken any dog portraits, so please feel free to ignore this but I have seen so many of them composed in "portrait" but not "landscape" as you do here so that if you would have gotten his paws in the shot too and eliminated more of the blanket on the left and right I think you would have had a killer shot. Anyway, gave it a 9. |

| A great b&w photograph. I would call it a busy photo, but the dog's markings blend in perfectly with the background. Makes it more interesting than a solid background. Title fits. |
