 This is my new puppy cosby, along with the house I've lived at for 16 years now. I'm about to leave for college, sad.

There are a few things I'd change about this photo but it was one of those once in a lifetime shots.

I can't believe you didn't do better. I love this shot. The puppy is so cute. Everything is so in place and perfect. I love the soft focus. Collage, you say? Are you going to keep posting pictures?

First rule of composition..... look around the frame before clicking the shutter. Cosby has something growing out of his head. Focus seems a little soft as well. A faster shutter speed would probably have helped with this. Exposure looks good though.

Excellent angle. It turned this regular scene into a really nice photo.
 06/03/2003 12:14:19 PM
and of course .....a goose ?....cute pic...

The brick adds nice texture to the photo.

Cosby, whatever you do, don't let that weed in the front door.
 06/03/2003 08:32:17 AM
oh that's SO cute. Ok, you win, you melted me with this shot. I love that he's biting the flowers. Nice perspective.

Very nice. Fits criteria exactly. Love the puppy chewing on the flower and the Angels sign describes him perfectly. Is that a goose behind Cosby?

(as my hindbrain gooshes, "Cute Puppy!!!")

Appealing subject and pose; good lighting. Keeping this shot an 8 and not a 10, though, is the focus, which is kind of all over the place. The dog's nose, the flower, the sign, the bricks, or SOMETHING other than the stairs behind the dog need to be in crisp focus to draw the eye. :->

LOL. Just too cute. This captures home alright.
 06/02/2003 05:16:09 PM
That ornament with the cut off head really spoils this shot.
 06/02/2003 04:44:16 PM
Too cute!

Bill?

I keep coming back to this one. The expressiveness in the puppy's face makes this photo work! Could be a bit sharper, the goose in the background is distracting, etc., but the overall feel of this photo definitely says "home" to me.

Cute photo, but has a few distracting items (mainly goose). Nice dog!
 05/31/2003 09:11:11 PM
Cosby looks as if he is trying to protect the house from weeds right now! I love your friend, he's cute. The wooden sign board on the right makes this photo just right too. 8

I'll give that one a bonus point just for the cuteness factor, but I'll take it right back because the amount of the picture that is in focus is such a small area.

He's pretty vicious with that flower! A little out of focus.

Nice sharp picture, good colors, great shot of Cosby. He looks ferocious!
Good all the way around. I think it's the winner. 10

That's very cute! The dog seems a bit out of focus because he was moving.

This is the cutest shot. I love the angle and it looks like a card. Great shot and good luck!!

Without the goose (?) coming out of the dog's head I would have scored this more highly. I still love it though, lots of character! 7

Very cute photograph. The tilt doesn't bother me, but the vignetting in the corners does.

This is a cool shot. Just WISH that duck-looking object wasnt protruding out of the dog's head!! Composition would be great otherwise...

 05/27/2003 10:55:00 PM
it'll be so much nicer without the goose behind... but good effort!

Oh my this is too cute! I just wish that darn goose wasn't taking attention away from that adorable dog.
