Critique Club

Well, not last at least. As an example of doing this kind of stuff it's pretty reasonable ... though not territory in which I have much expertise, so you aren't going to get a very thorough critique from me on that I fear.

Also, quite clearly, you suffered from the 'photographic integrity' thing that is rife around the site right now. Even though this is 'legal', there is certainly a reaction against the use of it - partly at least, out of fear that the 'real photography' component of the challenge is under threat. Maybe that will lessen as time goes on, but I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope.

It fits the challenge, though. and there is something oriental-seeming in that processing you've done.

You have done some good work in the past, it's a pitty about this shot. I really thought it was done by a real ammature, but obviously not!

I'm not really a fan of the inverted or oversaturated, funky edited pop art look, sorry.

Different and fits the challenge I think this would be nicer in the usual image as it looks like a nice dog Not too keen on this variation

I never have and probably never will appreciate the psychedelic over processed shots such as this one...

I like this as digital art. The pose and colors are great. The background needs to be cleaned up a bit and maybe fill in the nose.

I think the processing is overdone; the essence of the dog is lost in the extreme posterization.

less photoshop, more photo....

i don't mean to sound harsh, but this just isn't a photograph anymore, and for whatever it is, it just isn't all that appealing. trust in the image...

I don't like the crop on this with so much of the light teal at the top and on the right upper corner, as well as forming the dog's nose and seemingly cutting off its paws, etc. I think I'd have liked it a lot in a tighter crop and/or with some hint of where the nose ends.

This effect really isn't that pleasing I am afraid.

Trying to do something creative with a boring pet photo is a good intention, ..but photoshop (or any ) is difficult to master. Keep trying with a bit more subtility.

not sure what you were going for but the effect is way to distracting
