Definately a good interpretation of the song. THe focus is a tad soft for my personal taste. The background is really good for this shot. Nothing distracting. Lighting appears to be ok. Wish we could see his eyes a bit more. GOod luck in the challenge.
Wow that dog looks so melancholy, get job capturing such a look on an animal. I would like to see a bit more of the top of the dogs head, but that is just nit picky, and perhaps more lighting but that may also subtract from the mood. 8.
Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo
Dislikes: You cuat off the top of his/her head"his" for conversation ease). Shame shame. Likes: everything, especially the two white hairs above his right eye. I love the sheen to his fur. Can't decide how I feel about the shadow or darkness or his right side. It makes his eye a little hard to really see but then it really doesn't upset me that much since he is dark. I like the B&W. I'll give it a 7 PTL
Congrats, my pick for the best of the week. Simple, effective, and definitely suited to the topic and title. Good lighting and composition. Only other observation is that the focus could be a little more crisp, but I dont think that it significantly detracts form the photo. Great Job!
Would have liked this cropped tighter (head only) or looser (showing some space above the top of the dog's head.) Good exposure, good detail, good depth of field. 6
I have a dog that's almost a carbon copy of this one and I know how much of a lighting struggle in can be. Usually it's either all or nothing. You did a great job here creating a dramatic moment with your lighting. Nice Work.
