I elected to use a rating table to decide on what value to assign during voting.
Here’s the table:
1 No Animal/People Interaction
2 Slightly Appealing, but no Animal/People Interaction
3 Moderately Appealing, but on Animal/People Interaction
4 Greatly Appealing, but no Animal/People interaction
5 Not Appealing, but possessing Animal/People Interaction
6 Slightly Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
7 Moderately Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
8 Greatly Appealing and possessing Animal People Interaction
9 Better than #8, and caused an audible sigh
10 Better than #9, and would likely declare it a favorite
Really loved this picture, reminds me of the old Rat-Pack. Excellent subject for B & W, save one issue. The Groom, dog and first fellow to the dog's right (as viewed) get a little lost in the shuffle against the large white flowers. this would have scored big with me if you had shortened the DOF to give the flowers a more mottled appearance or shifted the angle a bit to lose the flowers. At any rate, great picture!
