 kasaba I hope this is yours...
Firstly I think the BG is really nice and it makes the dog's head the real focus of the shot. Simple BG's are good so well done on this.
Composition is nice with the eyes and mouth / tongue relatively close to the eye pleasing rule of thirds.
The slight look to the left (from the viwers point of view) is probably the thing that might lose some of the connection for some voters. If the dog was looking straight at the voter then it might have done slightly better. Also the fact that the left eye is a bit obscure dby some hair also stops some of that connection with the viewer.
DOF is nice with the nose to the eyes in focus. The eyes might have been able to be a bit sharper and it looks like the focus drops off very soon after the eyes judging by the hair around the head in the region of the ears. Perhaps a slightly smaller aperture would have helped?
Lighting - I can see it was not an on camera flash - the highlights are not directly in line with the closest reflective parts of the dog (eyes and shiny nose).
Overall a pretty good job. Perhaps a slight bit more detail in the darker shadows of the face would have helped but not a bad shot at all! |
