Omigosh, Robert! I hadn't seen this before - what a hoot and a half! Poor Karma. And she's just looking at you like "Do you REALLY have to do that to me?" |

Such a good and telling photo. Candid - absolutely! Well shot and composed - most definitely! Really nice work Robert and not your usual fare. Very underrated in my opinion. The processing is just right and really adds to the overall composition. I love the natural b&w with the hint of color. Well done Robert! |

Hey - if the Wonderdog needs a new vet, my sister is in Brewster - Dr. Morgan. |

Composition: The composition of this shot follows all of the rules of composition i.e. The Rule of Thirds. The lines of the fence do a good job of framing the dog in action.
Colors: You have managed to keep your whites bright without any visible signs of blowout, and at the same time the black of the dog is rich, This is sometimes a difficult thing to do. The red of the color adds the little something extra, without it this might as well have been a black and white photo.
Lighting:Your lighting seems just a little flat, although I am sure the atmospheric conditions did not help in any way. At least you did not have any harsh shadows.
Technical Quality: This photo seems to have a little bit of a “snapshot” feel to it.
Meeting Challenge: I would say that this does meet the very strictest of the challenge definitions, but many of the voters on DPC might disagree with this. Usually candids are considered shots of people that do not know they are being photographed. Unfortunately I believe this is the reason for the score you got. Sometimes thinking outside the box has its own drawbacks.
Border / Title: The title is the very best thing about this photograph, Its nice to see humor being used in creative ways, and you certainly gave me a smile.
Overall: Overall this is a pleasant enough photograph but definitely has a snapshot feel to it. I know with candids there is not much time to fire off a shot, but a photo of a pet or child needs just that something extra to move it out of the family album and onto an art site.

Very funny! I would have given this photo a 7 on its own, but the title made me laugh -- so I have to bump this one up to a ten. |

Okay shot. Don't care for the subject. Questionable if meets challenge. |

It may be that you won't agree with me, but in my mind "candid" implies a photograph of a person at a candid (i.e. unaware of the camera) moment. So, to that way of thinking, this doesn't really meet the challenge. That being said, there is a lot to like about the photo, especially from the horizontal midline up. |

The dog holds no interest factor for me at all in this shot, but I can definitely see the humor of candid all over this capture. More so, the image's silvery cast against the snow seems AMAZING to me on this monitor. I cannot sense any blowouts, all of the snow, seems to have a texture and the lines of the fencing hold good attention to the eye. A border would have destroyed this shot.
I am not drawn to the candidness in the picture, but recognize it. The shot is more interesting by far on a different level to me with the surrounding area and would be far improved if the dog had not been included at all. Technically I have nothing to offer on the whole, but find I do have to bump this up from my initial score to a 5 simply due to the other elements. |
