Waiting for a Handout II

Comments please. Thank you for your time! Sondra

Interesting composition and use of color plus black and white. 5/6

excellent

Hi Sondra! I love this - perfect timing! Might I suggest cropping out the door on the right and the newpaper machine on the left? IMO they are a little distracting. Congrats, Ellen

Great capture ! Well done .

Very Good picture Sondra, congratulations, greetings, Hector

CR: Only at the second sight I became aware of your professional work of partial desaturation. That means the effect is really impressive! CL: Not nice of the dog not to keep still his tail! RE

This is really cute. It's a very unusual shot and I think still worth doing a bit of work on. I'm not sure you've done it complete justice. I'd like to see it perhaps in b&w with a bit of an aged look. Still, it's pretty captivating.

I tried B&W and sepia tone before I decided on partial desaturation. The partial desaturation looked far better as the dog is seen more readily. Sondra

Thank you everyone for all your great thoughts on this photo. I had fun capturing the moment. Sondra

Amazing, sensitive. A photo "with meaning". Regards from Spain.

I agree, this one really tells a story, I like the dog and the sign being in color, grabs the eye. But I also agree about the crop, I think the full window is all it needs. I rate this as is 6/6. If you were to crop and re-submit, it would surely be 7/7 in my humble opinion. Cheers! -Jim

Wow this is perfect ! Just how I remember my dog

waiting for my sister and I to come out with a treat. Which was always a vanilla ice cream cone.

I like your whole composition, being able to read the surrounding is a plus for me. A part of history, so to speak. 7/7

Thanks, Juanmar, Jim, and Meriwether for your kind comments. This is one of my favorites too. Cheers, Sondra

Originality.!Excellent composition.!I like this so much.!Thanks for sharing it.! Sondra...

Thanks Peter and Zackary for your support. Cheers, Sondra

Excellent! The selection for partial desaturation isn't easy.

Excellent !

 

Regards! Nick.

A special moment! What a nice photo.

Love the composition Sondra, well seen. A liquor gussling dog? Who would have known.....^_^

Beautiful selective coloring. You even captured a slight blur indicating movement of the dog's tail. Possibly the dog's owner is inside. :)
