Way under-exposed? I am sure you are aware of that, was it on purpose? 6/10

Nice colours, the highlights look a little too blown out but that might just be unavoidable. It looks like a pretty tricky shot to get. 7.5/10

Lovely shot!, only nits are the weeds growing out of the right side of her head (I'd clone that out), and the prominent weed on the right side of the image as well as on the left. I also would have cropped it so she was a little more off-center and more in the upper left third.

8/10

7/10.. I like the shilouettes of the crowd, but it would be nicer straightened out with a tighter crop

I know it's already been rated, but I just wanted to say AWESOME expression on the dog :D I think the big plastic collar looks ugly, though. Is it one of those shock collars? ;)

Again, I know it's been rated already, but just wanted to comment - looks like an attractive girl, but her expression isn't very flattering. I'm guessing a different expression--maybe smile--would bump this rating up a little more :) I don't mean to offend..

wow, this shot is glorious.......The shadows, the detail, the exposure...9.5/10...on​ly because I have a feeling the non-black and white version isn't AS spectacular ;) also, as the previous poster mentioned (I was beaten to the punch), a tighter crop may have been better. The lighter floor / carpet line at the bottom of the picture is a little bit distracting. I do like how long the people's shadows are in the back, though.

I took too long with my post...haha. I actually like that you didn't use a very shallow DoF here, but the big silver pipe in the bottom left is a little distracting. 8/10

Thanks, and yes it is, not my dog it's my brother in laws, not sure I couldn't do that to a dog...

Curious as to what's wrong with the crop, and why it dropped the rating so low, can you expand?

I think people are pretty critical in here...hehe. My thoughts on the crop are that I would have liked to see more space in front of the dog's snout. It's not a 3x5ish proportion, which is fine, but I think the fact that it's more of a square crop, which shows more of the dog's neck and less space in front of the snout makes it 'less desirable'.

Not that you were asking for my opinion.. Don't mind me--I didn't sleep at all last night. about to crash out now..

7/10 I like the concept, the sharpness and detail are good, but it's too dark (I often have this issue when using flash). The white wire and white wall wall detract a bit and it feels too close to the tree, not close enough to the cat.
I'd recommend using some kind of a diffuser, or bouncing if you want to use the flash with a wide (<24mm) lens. If you get a sample pack of gels that has more than just the basic color gels, they usually have some grid-cloth samples you can tape on the front of the speedlight. Also, increase the shutter speed or ISO to let in more ambient light and consider gelling your speedlight. Welcome to creative lighting!

9/10 Love the composition, the over-exposed area bothers me a little. Love the image overall.

Thanks a lot I'm glad you liked the picture :)

I love the straight horizon, the long exposure is given a very good feel to the picture, love it. 8/10

7/10 The concept is there but the main focus (flower) feels over exposed. Also a more dynamic angle would have helped.

6/10 doesn't work for me. I don't really like the composition and the frame plus the sides of the car look a lot dark to me.
