Quick snap of my adorable one year old Golden Retriever Globule who cannot be more focused than when she's in it for a cookie.

My idea was to have the dog out of focus while the cookie would be very clear though the cookie could have been a bit more sharp on my final result.

Great concept and a great model.

Cute dog, and I like the hard wood floor in the image. I don't like the background beyond that, next time try hanging a sheet... Unfortunately, the biscuit isn't in focus and that's what I think you were trying to accomplish.

Still a bit out of it? Nice dog though!

I think the fact that the Bone is also out of focus will hurt your score. Good idea though.

Would have been better if the "Focus" was in focus. Clever idea though.

good idea, you should have something in focus.

Exactly.

the dog is cute, but your intention isn't focused enough. What was the point here?

Clever concept.

It would work if the bone was actually in focus. 5.

Wish the "focus" was a bit more in focus! The wood floor works well here, the only thing I'd change is *maybe* to have a bit more dof... and sharpen up the main subject

I understand the intention here, but too much of the image is out of focus. Even the bone is a little soft on focus.

sorry - even the word focus is not (in focus)

focus is out of focus!!

This would have worked very well if the focus was actually in focus... Great pose from the dog.

nice set up & idea but nothing seems to be in focus

This is an adorable shot! Having a dog myself, I can appreciate the training your dog must have received in order to calmly lay in front of such a tempting morsel! Unfortunately, the focus on the biscuit is lacking. If you could have gotten it sharper, I think you would have won yourself a ribbon.

Both are a bit out of focus. Nice attempt though.

great shot, but in my opinion the word "focus" is a little out of focus
