Aw, they're getting ready! Nice use of the legs for framing, the focus is a little soft I think.

Nice farm shot. Could use a little sharpening though.

Different - using horses as a frame. Nice picture of the dogs.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

terrific concept and composition - dogs eyes not sharp.

the photo feels a little soft or maybe blurry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 08:18:34 PM
Good perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:32:33 PM
This is a great shot from an unusual angle. Your photo is so sharp with the hounds' faces so easily read. I love that the hounds are framed by the horses.

 03/15/2009 05:17:58 PM
cute, but wish the third dog in was looking up
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like this unusual take on the huntsman and his hounds. Beautiful. Just look at those faithful expressions on the hounds faces. 8

Great framing and beautiful eyes of the dogs.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:08:57 PM
Good idea but I think it needs the dogs to be more in focus to work
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:54:38 PM
Interesting perspective. A bit soft and not quite in focus, unfortunately.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:21:41 PM
lol........

Hounds are nice. Frame is interesing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:22:56 PM
Looks like they're either getting instructions or getting scolded :-) Great story shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:34:25 AM
If only this were in sharper focus... I love the unique angle and composition of this!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:00:48 AM
Cute perspective shot, focus doesn't seem as sharp as it could be.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:38:14 PM
funny and wonderous at the same time. 10

Cute framing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

What a great shot - "Please blow the horn, we want to GO!"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:01:46 AM
I think I would really like this much better without the processing... Is it sharper before? I like their expressions. :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:20:59 AM
i like how you used the horse to frame the pooches, but they are a bit out of focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:32:11 AM
Fantastic composition and framing. It could do with being a ltlle sharper though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:58:49 AM
Cute doggies. I'm not too fond of the horses' asses. Something strange appears to have happened as well which caused everything to be overly smooth.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:50:24 AM
nice perspective!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:20:19 AM
wonderful expression from the hounds, 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:46:50 AM
What a great viewpoint well spotted and taken I love the way the hounds are looking at the master though it would be nice if it were a little sharper
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:30:34 AM
i hope these dogs are not aiming for the horse's ba**s ;) very interesting angle, but the grey horse is distracting and dogs are not in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:27:17 AM
love the two central beagle's expressions :-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:44:10 AM

 03/12/2009 11:24:35 PM
interesting angle - the focus is a bit off
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:54:06 PM
Very cool photo, I like how small the dogs look compared to the horses.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:58:12 PM
Ahh ye ole fox hunt.

 03/12/2009 05:05:04 PM
Cool framing of your subjects!

 03/12/2009 12:07:45 PM
I wish the hound faces were a bit more in focus. Good shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:19:26 AM
I like the expressions on the hounds.

 03/12/2009 08:47:17 AM
well chosen point of view
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:39:35 AM
Image feels very soft which I think detracts from this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:18:45 AM
I like how the horse frames the hounds and the expectant look in their faces is great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:27:57 AM
Maybe not the best technically but I really like the look from the dogs, and the way you framed it with the horses. Good shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:16:49 AM
There is a big lack of focus here on everything in this picture but I do like the subjects.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:18:56 PM
Classic hounds - would like to see the focus more on them
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:59:42 PM

Great view.

Interesting framing. I like the eager expression on the dogs. They are ready to go!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:19:19 PM
I get that you were framing the dogs, but the whole image is a bit blurry probably from camera shake. Creative idea, I think the execution needs work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:04:56 PM
Excellent POV! Very nicely done! 9
