I have a couple of ideas for this challenge, but those are setup shots. I'm preparing to leave this morning (May 10) going to voting precints (it's election day here in the Philippines). I saw our neighbor's dogs in front of our gate. There were 3 male dogs running after this female. The brown one was lucky to come in first. :)
I have several shots of them, in different angle and positions.... I thought this one is the best and somewhat discreet.

You're welcome (I gave you one of the 26 6's). Actually I didn't find the shot to be really within the challenge, but I "allowed it", reading the title.
On a side note, I'm so sick of reading the Moral Majority comments all over this site whenever there is nudity, violence or anything that doesn't fit in to their american dreaming Mr Rogers Neighbourhood.
That the subject might be poor taste in their eyes doesn't make it a bad image and this is a site about photography, not moral consent. There are no limits to art, and it surely is in the beholders eye. Your image to me was well worth the 6. Or perhaps it wasn't, and I fell in the trap of playing their game - upgrading it just a bit for you having the guts to post it? Can't tell. I do know I almost gave you a 10 for the same reason, but felt it would be wrong. I Would never vote an image down for depicting something I didn't like anyway - I'd like to sleep well at night.
I thought it is cool, I thought I've captured something different...yes dogs are well photograph, and the subject is rather common. But how often do you see an "action" or "scene" like this in front of your gate?
This is my lowest score so far, but it really doesn't matter to me. But who wants a lower score anyway? :( I'm pretty happy if I get an average, but will be very happy if I get a higher one. I enjoy this site very much and I love entering every challenges. I guess I should be more selective now of my entries so I won't get slammed.
Again thanks folks especially those who gave 6, 7, 8 ,9 and 10
The colors are just wonderful here- how it's all muted beige and browns. The subject is actually rather well done, though I get little sense of opposites in this setting. The framing is nice as is the exposure and focus. Did you happen to feed any of these dogs? They look pretty scrawny.
Is that bite mark on her butt? Hee Hee Hee. Very nicely caught! 10 - mostly for the humour, but also for great capture of detail in the detail in their fur.
what ugly dogs, but they look like they are enjoying themselves. Not sure how to score this one, it certainly catches the eye from amongst all those 'fire & ice' or 'black & whiite' shots -
This is st6retching the opposites theme. From a technical perespective there isn't enough contrast between subjects and background to really make it interesting either.
Well, gosh, what can I say? From the looks of the dogs they are strays and she's still nursing. Nothing really here to hold my interest, any chance you might catch them and get them fixed? A 2
