This is a fantastic shot ... My only issue is that there is no person, as requested in the challenge description.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

The critique I am doing is for "Pretty in Pink"

First Impression - the most important one:
That poor pup ... torture for art .. hehehe ... nice concept and good use of colours.

Composition:
Not too bad .. I think that cropping Beanie more on the thirds so her eyes or mouth match the horizontal thirds may have added something, but I am unsure. I like the DOF .. it works with the green and some of the boa being out of the DOF.

Subject:
I do like the colours ... but do they enhance the subject .. or scare it of?. Nah really it is a good shot and meets the challenge well.

Technical (Colour and light):
Lighting good, reasonably sharp picture...

To grow its vote?:
This is really hard, I have not often seen peoples pets score really well outside a pets type challenge. I think that people are immediately "oh your pet" or "oh a dog" and mark it down on that ... I don't know why but that does seem to happen, I think it is tied to the oh a pet snapshot thing. But I have also seen this happen with peoples photos of children.

Summary:
I think this is a good picture, I like it and more over I think you like it ... and hey its you liking it counts!

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

This is a really small picture, would have had more impact sized at 640, which is allowable in the challenge rules.

Interesting shot, slight flaring on the ground, and the white border doesn't seem to add to the picture.

I really liked this shot Nick .. I am surprised you didn't do better as she does really meet the challenge.
