Dog or no dog?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Dog or no dog?

Postby phillipb on Sat Sep 10, 2005 9:21 pm

Do you think the dog makes or brakes this photo?

I was actually waiting for the dog to finish his business before pressing the shutter, but then I thought... what the heck.
On closer inspection at 100% zoom I think I may have been able to put this in the "Decisive moment" competition :lol:

Ho No! This is what happened to Mic with his inversions and to Mattk with his neat & in the middle.
Any chance of getting the site hacked again so that we can loose this thread?

I know you are all probably focused on the other end of the dog, but check out the look of absolute bliss on its face as it drops that Polly Waffle on the lawn! :lol:

It looks like the owners have no intention of coming back with a pooper-scooper either!

I think the dog is losing what is commonly known as a cable....bit thicker than a thread. :lol:

Mate, that's a Great Dane, you'd need to carry a shovel and a 20 gallon drum with you. :shock:

Hi Phillip
I think it breaks the photo, sorry....IMO.

The subject of the photo is obviously the bridge, but as the dog is so small in frame, I don't feel it adds to the shot.

If it was a closer shot of the dog, then perhaps.....

Do you have one without the dog, to compare it to ?

Hi Dave
Actually I don't have one without the dog, but I cloned it out and the photo seemed stangely out of balance. I then cropped the whole of the left side, some from the top and bottom so that the couple were not smack in the centre and came up with this.

Somehow I don't think this photo would have got the same reaction as the original though.
