Hi
Kari from the critique club.
First impression
I think that you have a very still animal and are so lucky for this shot. This is an interesting interpretation on the title.
Subject
I am sure this meets the challenge, going from the comments you have recieved ... I wasn't around back when and didn't really get into their songs .. so I think this is a job well done.
Composition
Just a slight more space on the left and the honey would have been pouring down the vertical thirds line. The dogs eye also seems very centered in the shot ... so adding this space and perhaps the dogs tags into the shot would have taken this feeling away. The dog himself though creates a nice leading line taking the eye up to the honey dripping down. I wonder how it would have looked if it was mirrored to take the eye through to the right side of the picture rather than the left.
Technicals
This are you have exceeded in. You have an incredibly sharp picture with good focus, down to the slight catchlight in the dogs eye.
Improving the score
Remove all pet shot haters from the voting pool (just an idea). I think that trying different crops may have been the idea here. That is not to say that this is not a good shot in the first place.
Finals
This is a really good shot ... well done
If you have any comments on the critique feel free to PM me.
Regards
Kari

| Meets the challenge very well. My only suggestion would be that you try croping a little off the right and a little more off the bottom to tighten the image. I don't think the dog's collar adds anything to the image. 8 |

| I know this is odd, but I think I would like this picture a lot better if the dog weren't wearing a collar. |

| The dark background is perfect for this image. The model looks as sweet as the honey. Well done! |

I'm not a big fan of pet shots, but this one is very well done. I'm sure it will go down well with DPC voters.
It would have been even beter without the collar I think. |

| Very nice. I'd re-shoot this with a more photogenic honey container... (although for the challenge and voters I think you made the right choice showing the actual wording!) the colors compliment and the expectant tongue is perfect! |

| Great focus. Love the drip and the sharp eye is great. I wish it were dripping, but we couldn't see the bottle. Just my take on it. Nicely done though. All the elements work together well. 7 |
