Composition: The window is definitely the focal point, with the dog and furnishings as add-ons to complement it and give the photo some bottom weight and framing. I am not wild about focal points being in the center, so might have wanted to see this a bit more off center for interest. I also am not sure if I like the way part of the top of the curtain was cut off, and part is visible. Might have also cropped out the image on the right. The dog helps add warmth and gives it a nice "someone lives here" look. There is a nice use of compimentary colors in teh composition with the sheers having a purplish red cast, and the rest more of a yellow green color.
Technical Quality: No post-processing problems, no grain, no .jpg artifacts, no out-of-focus noticed here. Very nice use of lighting.
Creativity: Not the most creative shot in this challenge, but would have made a nice magazine ad!!
Conclusion: Nice photo, not a lot of "wow" factor, but very pleasing to the eye and well done. Congrats!
There is a window in the shot, but the window, to me, is not the subject. For me, all of the things in the shot are detracting from the presence of the window, not enhancing it. I do like your lighting and focus in the shot.
Looks like something I might have seen in a model home. Is that a Red Flier?
The only thing in this photo that I feel could have made an improvement, since you could have used selection tools, is remove the distracting image behind the sheers and add something woodsy or country.
i really like the elements that make up this image, the curtains, the plant, dog, lamp and easy chair. i think a more dramatic lighting would help the composition. maybe with the lamp on and a less of the rest of the lighting.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this dog in the 20 Minute Workout? Nice curtains and nice setting. Photo seems to be missing a bit of focus. I like the feel of this shot; the dog makes it work. Jacko. 9
