Initial Impression:
Bad light, a bit of a snapshot feel, but great emotion and novel take on the theme.
Challenge:
I think this meets the challenge well, in an original but still fairly obvious way.
Composition:
I think this shot works well centered, though the biggest difference would be made by getting down on the dogs level and shooting from there. Eye contact is very important with animal shots and it's hard to get that contact from above the animal! Don't be afraid to get down in the mud with her!
Technical:
A bit more contrast added in post processing would have cleaned this shot up and made it more interesting visually.
Overall:
Great idea and humor, good but not great photo. I really liked this shot in the challenge and I scored it rather high just because it was a fun picture. A bit more creativity with the angle would have netted you a higher finish for sure!
Maybe a little off topic, but I've voted on too many photos to care anymore. Good Shot. The water drops came out clear. I would have added a simple boarder to this one.
very cool. how many times did you make him do this? ;-)
instead of being frozen, i wonder how a slower ISO/longer shutter speed would have come out (some blur, the water in streaks). but that said, i still like this shot.
great shot, though I suspect the beach is why he's wet and not the rain! :) Super lighting though..if you had moved a bit to the right and gotten rid of most of the shadow by hiding it behind the dog, that might have really worked too!
good job, but i don't think the focal point should be on the dog drying off....it doesn't seem to relate with the challenge besides the fact that the dog is wet..
Good title, very original. The focus is good here, the only thing I would have changed is having your dog not so centrally positioned. It gives the image more of a snapshot feel to it.
Hey I got the same idea, but no pet.. :) Well for me I would angle the shot lower so that the water drops is set to the background and not in the puddle of water. This makes the drops less clear. :)
