Great use of space, I like the contrast of the shadow and light - but I must say that the dog does blend a little, I wish more detail of the animal could be seen. I also think the photo is rendered a little small. Meets the challenge very well, great background - high interest. Well done. 7
This image could be improved considerably if the dog were placed in the sun and that if you took a closeup of the dog in sharp focus but with a shallow depth of field to achieve a nice soft focus on the background trees.
I wish the photo was bigger. I also wish you were much, much closer to the dog. The grass has no value in this photo. The dog looks lovely from the little I can see...
I think the dog gets lost in the shadow... Maybe if the photo would be 4 times bigger (2x horizontal, 2x vertical) it wouldn't disturb me so much. When using such a small subject, I have learned during this challenge that using the rule of thirds can make the shot much-much balanced and pleasant. Try it some other time. :-)
I like the picture, its more colorfull than some of these in this challenge, but I know with the 3 challenges i have entered these people are very critical! So I was hoping to give you good critism, its good that there is color and sun is behind you, but in this picture just a little too much shadow. you can hardly see the dog, but otherwise it fits the challenge hes alone in the big backyard! I give you an 8.
The image is too small. Your subject is hidden in the shadows... it's actually hard to really tell the dog is even there since the image is this small. Overall, uninteresting unless I had some tie to the dog. = 2
The shadow is overwhelming and drowns out your focal point. Also, the dog being almost smack in the center of the photo gives it little artistic interest. Perhaps if it were bigger it would help but as is, it's hard to see this as much more than a snapshot.
