Cap is stuck to the end of a stick that is pushed into the grass. I was just testing to see how it would look and the dog walked up so she ended up in the shot too.

Well this is certainly an interesting photo to critique, I must say I don't really "get" it. Where is the stick? Is it hidden behind it? I know that it must be somewhere since cloning it out is not allowed under basic editing, so I'd be interested in hearing how this was accomplished exactly. It's really fooling me.
The lenscap is very nice, and crisp. The lighting on it is just right. The dog however seems to me a bit muted and low contrast. It almost appears as if they are two separate images, but I swear I am not accusing you of that, I am just saying that your allusion is done very well. : )
I'm not sure what to say about improving this since it appears to me that this is the look you were going for. My only suggestion would be perhaps playing with the levels or curves more to make the dog pop an extra bit without overdoing the lenscap, that might be a little difficult, but it could really add to the image in my opinion.
I like the crop and the placement of the lenscap and the dog in the image. All in all I feel that this is a strong photo and you should be proud of it.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions/comments or concerns regarding this critique.
This kind of looks like a lens cap placed on a printed picture? It might be more effective if the lens cap were placed where it appears the dog is looking.
whoa! how'd you do that? the dog looks unsure... nice photo, good sharp focus, a solid white studio set-up would really make this shot stand out, great job and pretty dog
