The bit that the puppies are sitting on *does* look like the image was corrupted.. only the fact that border continues really lets in on the fact that they're just standing on something white.. It had thrown me, but I had just ignored it.

Great shot.. so adorable, and like I said, I don't even like dogs :)

This image either has a very large white space at the bottom, or it's corrupt. It looks corrupted? But the dogs are adorable, and the center of the shot is great.

How cute.. the soft focus really works well here. 8

Cute puppies! Composition could be improved with a tighter crop, which should eliminate the foreground up to the paws.

cute photo, (actually too cute for my tastes and the soft focus makes it disgustingly sweeter). Nonetheless a shot which should score well. I like the white background with the slits. If only the one on the left was staring at the camera as well....

Very cute puppies! I like the photo, but the background is very distracting. The white seems overblown and there is a glow covering the puppies feet. It almost appears to be oversharpening "halo"

Very cure picture, I would have cropped out the negative space at the bottom... It took me a few seconds and a refresh hit to figure out that the whole picture was displayed... The more I look at it, a tighter crop at the top would also improved this allready good picture.

awe!!!! there too cute!!!! I just love puppies!!....composes self...

their faces= adorable - but the image itself needs more work - cropping, background, etc.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

THis is image is nearly perfect - I would have given it a 10, but the bottom is cut off in a bit of a distracting way. There's a bit of a different colour, almost like a border right at the feet. I wish I could see more of the feet or what was just below the puppies. 9

It feels like the bottom of the picture is chopped off. I love the shot, but I would have scored it MUCH higher-- quite possibly a 10 -- if their paws hadn't been amputated!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/08/2005 05:44:19 PM
Hmm...something is missing from the bottom of the picture. Just looks a bit odd as if my internet connection stalled on me and the whole pic failed to load. They are adorable but I'm not sure that white space down there works.

The green lines in the background(in between the fence post?) is a tad bit distracting, these puppies are absolutly adorable. Great job.9

I don't even like dogs, but how cute are these?

This is almost too cute for words. I'm surprised you were able to get the pups to pose for this long. Unique take on the subject.

cute

how can anyone resist the puppies are lovely
I am not sure if somthing is wrong here though the bottom of you image is completely white and the background is not doing your image any justise
I think I would have made a closer crop and cut that all out

love this! to be able to get all the puppies to look at you at the same time and not be running all over the place....I know how hard it is...hats off for being able to do this! These look like little wiener dogs...gotta love em'! 10!

Puppies! I like the color and even though I know this is an advanced edit, this one almost looks too Photoshop.

Excellent puppy portraits. They are well-focued, the lighting is great, they make an adorable subject. For me, the white chair is distracting with the gaps behind the puppies and the large white space at the bottom (I kept waiting on the image to fully load and then realized it was!). This is still one of my highest rated in the challenge, but I would have given it a 10 with a different setting. Those little faces are just irresistable!

I think you are trying to do some effect here to give an ethreal lighting or something. but it makes them look blurry.

Cute - looks a little over processed for my taste
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/07/2005 01:29:01 AM
AWWWW... no fair using such a cute subject! The highlights are blown, though, and focus could be a little sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Awwwwww. . . HOW cute is THAT!!! The three in the middle look just like my Milly did when she was a baby!!! LOVE the picture!! LOVE IT! 10

One of these puppies knows your username and password. Stop identity theft at its source, spay and neuter your pets.

Very cute! However, something is bothering me on the very right side - you should have cropped it, along with the left side, even at the risk of cutting off the paw. It's cut off already, and the lines just draw too much attention. 5.

Awwwah so sweet. Love their eyes. Odd background, a fence? Cute shot 9 from me.

the large white blank space at the bottom is very distracting, and not straight. I am not sure what is behind them - a picket fence? a poster? Greeat idea, but not a great shot.

Nice photo of the pups. Wonderfully expressive faces. White band at the bottom is a major distraction.
