Sadly put to sleep yesterday 10-09-06
Will be deeply missed.
Infrared shot of one of my dogs called Kelly. She is nearly 15 and sadly won`t be with us much longer.
Her mother was a working dog on a farm in Cornwall.

First Impression - the most important one: Its a dog .. but one of a very select few that I don't really mind.
Composition: Well done, I think that slightly more on the left may have put the dog on true thirds .. but is works ... the leading lines through the landscape and the sky add.
Subject: Meets the challenge, but has challenged peoples thinking.
Technical (Colour and light): Well done .. natural and lovely. Hard to tell if this is selective desat or not .. and that I like.
To grow its vote?: Put in a person . .you know that is what people thought should be there.
Summary: Great .. nice challenge to the way of thinking .. and well thought through. Keep it up.

This image is my highest rated in the category of "no people". I did not feel strongly about the human vs non for this challenge. This is a beautiful portrait of a dog and his/her incredible environment. Nice processing. 9
I like this - it's slightly bizarre having the greens desaturated and yet the colour in the sky, but it works for me. And the dog is an adorable subject.
