I am gonna try to be more active on this site. I could really use some constructive criticism of my pet photography, especially since I am new to the business.

Thanks,

Debbie

What can I say?

I really like this shot - the sharpness at the right position, there#s a nice atmosphere - but I certainly would like it even more if the trees would be standing upright.

I also often fail to get my pics as horizontal as they should be but this can be corrected by just a few seconds of PP.

And in addition, taking off the collar and the leash also would help.

First off beautiful doggie smile

I like the shot, but I agree..the trees not being straight and the collar/leash take my attention away from the subject, but I am nowhere near a pro. lol

IMO you have great potential grin

I disagree, I like the offset angle, I would maybe crop a bit off the top, but it adds interest for me and catches my eye better than as if it were straight. It is more artistic this way IMHO.

I understand what everyone is saying about the orientation of the picture. I did not adjust the image so the tree was upright because the trunk is actually slanted. So the image is true to the actual scene.

Also, I did not clone out the leash/caribiner because I was short on time. Normally I would have done so, especially if it was for a client, absolutely.

I appreciate everyones advice. I will try and post an image every week. I just dont have lots of spare time running a business and working full time. Ughhhh

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for sharing. I don't mind the orientation of the photo at all. I think the comment about the harness is accurate though as I find it distracting. It is not always an option to take off the harness, unfortunately. frown

I am curious to see what Peggy Sue has in mind for the image.

James

Hi Debbie,

I didn't want to say that you should clone out the leash etc. I never ever do clone out anything. From my point of view, photography is about capturing a moment of reality. So if I've taken a picture with anything on it I don't like - like a leash or something disturbing in the background - I live it or try do get a second chance for the picture.

But that's just me, don't want to say that cloning out something is something nehative.

Good sharp photo...the tilt doesn't work for me either nor the knot in the tree next to the dog's eye. They both try and compete for my attention. I do like the alert expression on this dog's face. Thanks for sharing your image!
