Ha a good one for the contest,if based loosely on the song,but does fit and the dog looks quite cute and rather than a straight forward portrait it works,nice one...Brian

I had an instantly humorous take on this photo upon reading its title. The idea is great and well executed. I thought it was funny and almost meme-like as the dog appears to be both holding on by his paw and floating above water as if singing to the deck "You keep me hangin' on." Although it is obvious this was mixed together and not all parts combine cohesively, it is a good picture and a great idea.

    Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. The dog and the deck are from the original photo. Only the background is changed.

I like what you've done here to illustrate one of Cliff's songs. Beautiful image of this little dog. Very good lighting and focus. I love how you can see all the intricate twists and curls of his hair - he looks like a cuddly toy. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Aptly created for the comp.

Fine features and fluffy textures against a semi surreal backdrop.

Cute capture but it seems he is not holding on tightly...
Nice dichromatic presentation.

Thanks & good luck!

Such a cute dog!! He does look like he is hanging on to the deck. I have a problem with the back legs of the dog. I think the purple color is supposed to be water. For some reason the back legs look strange. I know they are submersed in the water, but the way they look doesn't appear to be real. All other technical elements look great.

    Thank you very much for your encouraging comments and your critical input. I have a look at the picture. Maybe I can paint more waves. The background is supposed to be light blue and white. I cannot make changes now, but have to wait until the contest voting is over.

A beautiful stop action picture of your beloved little mixed breed Terrier looking as if it was about to leap up on to the decking, one paw resting on the deck while it thinks about it next action. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

This looked neat when I first saw it but after looking at it close the image is not right. It just does not look natural. You could still use it but just crop off the feet part.

    Thank you very much for your review and your advice. Mmmmm, I have to think about the feet, but at the moment I cannot do anything because the contest has not ended jet. The feet are supposed to be in the water or among clouds. Maybe I could paint more waves or clouds or just add the feed back to the photo.

nice capture of the dog, but, I can see that the background was change and not in a real good way and this is why I gave you a lover score

still, good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing
