Hello, and greetings from the Critique Club. What follows is my best attempt to Critique this photo from a DPC voter's point of view. I'll do my best, but please excuse any comments that may be unintentionally rude or insulting.
Initial Thoughts
Robot Dog, ok.. but.. what.. he's.. hahahahahah..
Composition/Content
Pretty nice composition, you get all your elements in without complicating the photo, and the leg position of the dog, while a little hidden, is a nice surprise for those that look long enough. Content wise, very nice. An expensive sofa about to be ruined by robot dog pee is sure to get a laugh.
Background
Nicely out-of-focus, good use of DOF. No complaints here.
Camera Work/Technical
There are areas of softness here I can't really explain, perhaps the lens at this focal-length has corner/edge softeness? Otherwise, the focus seems spot on. Good use of aperature for the DOF.
Digital Processing
From your processing comments, it looks like everything was done pretty well. There seems to be a bit of that.. DPC "wow" factor lacking in the look of the photo, but I honestly can't think of anything off hand that would help that.
Fits the Challenge
I'm not sure it *entirely* fits the challenge, but robot dogs certainly aren't old. The title seems to carry the connection more than the photo though.. at least for me. Although I guess the sofa looks quite new too.
My Opinion of the Photo
A keeper because of the humor for sure, good to see that some people still value that over DPCness, which, unfortunately, this lacks a little bit of. But not much. I'd have scored it higher. |

| Points for humour, but would help if I could see the 'puddle' a bit more clearly. |

| Where's the new? Where's the old? I think if you had shown the leg a bit better, then we could see exactly what you are talking about. At first glance I didn't see the leg. |

| Definite bonus points for humor!! What a creative idea! Colors and lighting look fabulous and I like the texture differences between the tile, the dog, and the chair. Nice composition. |

| LOL - very cute! I like the colors and crisp focus. Composition is well executed. The tight crop is perfect here. |
