PAW - Nice shot for the family album. This is a different, greater depth viewpoint of Mesa Arch. You did very well with the different brightness levels. I would love to tour the Southwest US parks.

PAW - Nice composition. I like Sassy's buddy. I was going to ask what ShutterPug did also. Poor girl must miss her owners, but she looks very happy. A shallow DOF would help with that wrinkled background.

PAW - Cute shot. I think softening the focus and/or diffusing the lighting a bit would improve the faces. Nice background, is that a photography backdrop?

Comment by boyd2000:
PAW - I like how the background has several other artifacts of interest, though the top hat and bright colored thing behind it seem out of place, and I think even moving the desk out of view would improve it. If it's an exhibit that may not have been possible. Something sticking out behind the right side of the subject is distracting also. Maybe changing the camera position would help these fit better or be hidden behind the subject (head dress?). A little more light on the front of the subject would be nice to bring out detail. This is definitely something to cherish for posterity.

I didn't get to vote on this challenge, but skimming the results, this one stopped me. I love the balance of everything in this shot. Great timing and capture!

Very nice. Does Sassy know she's part of a still life?

Nice. Maybe a little more light on the one on the left, but it's a fun shot. Great expressions on both girls.

Pretty dog and nice set up. The fold lines in the backdrop could be cloned out. Poor girl looks to have a cataract. How old is she?
