 Someone was out walking their peanut and let it take a dump on my lawn. My daughter stepped in it and I happened to be there with my camera...Yeh, right.

From the Critique Club:

This is kind of a hard image for me to critique because of the challenge restrictions. You had a very defined set if criteria for your shot. I think you met the challenge well.

What I like: I love the angle that you chose for this shot. Both the camera angle and the tilted perspective. I'm not usually a fan of tilted cropping, but I think it worked quite well here! Great DOF. What needs to be in focus is. What needs to be seen but not necesarily in focus is just that. Great colors except for...

What I don't like: I'm a little put off by the fact that your whites ain't quite white and you don't really have any black in the shot. Some work with levels would probably help with this. I'm also a tad bit (though I see the humor) put off by the subject. Not a lot of people in general like 'poop' shots for lack of a better term. This one was done tastefully but that is still what it is.

Why it didn't do so well in voting? I think it is probably the subject matter. See What I don't like above.

Keep on smiling and shooting!
Yours
TC

I'm not crazy about the angle of this shot. Good DOF though.
