III SUGGESTIONS FOR JUDGING – DOG EVENTS
First and foremost Dog Events is not a conformation event.
The photo has been approved by the host to have the minimum required
details to compete.
For placement purposes judges should focus on the following:
1. The placement of each element complement (as in “completes something else”) the others. (dog, props, setting, handler) Example: adding dust flying under the dog’s feet as it moves or water splashes, handler grabs her hat to keep it from flying off head accentuates the motion shown in the photo.
2. Items in the photo are as close to scale as possible using model figurines and props.
3. The description has all the required information and is short, clearly understood, and accurately
describes the photo.
4. Composition is creative, gives the viewer a feeling of reality and every element is necessary and adds something interesting and positive to the theme. Quality can be defined as conformance to specifications, the degree to which an event in a photo meets the event specifications offering a satisfaction factor that fulfills all the expectations of the person viewing the photo. Realism is the quality of representing an event accurately.
5. The type of dolls and props are not to be used as a placement factor. A handmade prop or a cheaper
priced doll is just as good as those that are manufactured and purchased new.
6. Cropping does not impair the judges ability to evaluate the photo.
