Hello from the Critique Club ...
Well, Myra, I love dogs. And yours is a nice one. She (I think it's a she) looks suitably ashamed of her disgraceful behaviour here. And oddly enough, the rather primitive use of the on-camera flash seems appropriate for once - it provides a sort of caught-in-the-act feel that I imagine is exactly what you wanted.
I'm sure you know that this is not the most technically brilliant photograph. It wasn't meant to be. So there's no point in my pontificating about lighting and exposure and processing here. To do so would be irrelevant to this photograph, because it's a snapshot of a naughty dog in flagrante delicto. And that's its charm.
I note you're fairly new to digital photography. Me too. I have learned the most not from the comments I have got on my own images, but from the comments I've read about other people's images that I personally liked. I recommend that approach.
In the meantime, I'd rate this image as a success within the context of the challenge, and that's what DPC is about ... the challenge.
Cheers,
Paul
