Eclipse

Sooner or later, someone will probably come along and criticize this image for lack of detail in shadow areas, particularly on the dog in the foreground...but it won't be me.

I think this image is excellent, and seems to combine the real and the ethereal...I love the light in it. This is a very strong image. Not to mention I'm a sucker for dogs.

Good work.

These are my beautiful pets, Spot and Mr. Fluffy, who were kind

enough to sit still for me. The dark foreground-light background

thing was intentional and makes me happy, maybe because I am

strange. Comments?

I like the underlying composition. And I must confess that I too am a sucker for dogs. These two look like they would easily capture your affections. But with all of that said, I am the guy Jim warned you about.

I hope you don't take offense but the exposure of this image is a problem for me. The contrast between the light and dark areas is just too much. There is no detail on the lower left and massively overexposed on the upper right. I'm sorry but whether its done intentionally or not, I just don't find this kind of look to be esthetically pleasing.
