Challenge:Technology (Classic Editing) Camera:Minolta DiMAGE S404 Location: Ajax Ontario Canada Date: Nov 16, 2002 Aperture: Auto ISO: Auto Shutter: Auto Date Uploaded: Nov 17, 2002
as a MACRO shot: I think the composition is nice, but a bit centered. The DOF is pretty good, a bit more would have gotten the nose nice and crisp too. Lighting seems a bit dark (but then again, I can't seem to get my monitor calibrated right)
Cute dog, for sure
Id give it a 7....instead of the 2 I gave you...you understand why :)
Side note...I bowl in Ajax every week...Plaza, on Harwood :) small world
I've been trying to decide how this dog represents technology, but I'm at a complete lose. If you'd care to enlighten me, I'd gladly reconsider your score ~Myqyl ~
UPDATED COMMENT : After much consideration, I've decided this does meet the challenge... Beagles are, afterall, work dogs... Tacking on the points I initially took off... Shot would have worked batter for me without the right side...
Ok were does this fit into the catagory. Nice closeness, but the challenge was for Technology. Was your buddy a by product of a test tube or some other realm of technology???
You already know you are asking for it with a "cute puppy" shot. You missed your challenge by one week. And it is a shame because it is a great pic and he is oh soooo cute. Are the sad eyes supposed to beg us for higher scores? He really is cute but I really can't see where you have meet the challenge THIS WEEK. Please tell me if I'm wrong. Do you mean the technology of his ability to smell? That just came to me. Maybe......maybe not..... Still good shot. PTL Yes the technology of the Beagle's nose deserves 2 more points. Here's a 7.
I'll bet you're getting alot of "where's the technology" comments! Very brave to submit this, is it a mechanical dog? While it's a very good photo, the challenge aspect merits the most points, for me. 3 Swash
Wonderful dog, and good shot. I usually don't get too hung up on meeting the challenge, but with my furtherest stretch of the imagination, I can not possibly see how this fits into the technology challenge. Macro, yes. karmat
I'm not sure if you've entered the right competition. Maybe this shot was for last week's competition entitled "Macro". On the whole, a good macro shot. A slightly deeper DOF, will probably have Buddy's nose in focus. Also, I think it's a little too tight a crop. For the Macro competition, I'll give you 7. For this week's competition, sorry buddy, 4.
I'm not generally going to mark someone down too much for being weak on meeting the challenge, but huh?? How in the world is this technology? Or were you just being funny? Sorry, I have to give you a 2. With the blurry nose it woulda been a 4 if the challenge was "Pets". kathleenm
Somehow I knew someone would find an excuse to feature a shot of their dog for this challenge... but I don't even understand the excuse here. What relevance does this have to the challenge???
