Yes, these are all my dogs (actually I have two more) and they are all chihuahuas. I was going for that tough rock-n-roll album cover feel. No special lighting was used, just room light, window light, and one daylight lamp. They actually posed quite well for the 150+ pics I took to get this shot. I kinda hated to add the text, but that was part of the challenge in my mind.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Great focus, strong colors and a very nice 'band' type photo. I like all the details, right down to the lead singer on the right, standing back and peering into space as if on a completely different plane.

Lighting: Overall, your lighting is pretty strong. I do think that I'd like to see the pups lit a bit better. Maybe a little fill flash, but, if those guys are like ours, the flash would only scare the hell out of them

Composition/Content: Great composition. Every element in the frame serves well to keep the eye wandering and looking for more. I am a bit disappointed in their choice of beers. I always pegged chihuahuas as Sam Adams drinkers.

My Opinion: Strong entry. Strong finish. I like what you captured here, and you earned the score the voters gave. Nice work.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Great album cover. I love the set up. Lighting could do a bit more to emphasise the dogs, but overall, good job.

Just adore this capture. How you got all four dos to pose I will never know. I think that they are guitar hero props and mini amps not to mention the pack of cards, dog biscuits, beer, drumsticks, bandanna and even a neon light this just so well thought-out. My first impression was that it required a little contrast but then I changed my mind as it give a hazy dry ice stage look. OMG its FIRST-CLASS = 10

Really nice job of getting all the dogs lined up and looking alert. I know how hard that is to do with just one, so for that I will give you a 9.
