Any Suggestions??

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

That would depend on what you are trying to achieve.

I would very lightly fill flash (adjusting the white ballance to suit)

I might have tried to frame it with the line of the dog's head running up and down

What I would have liked was a little more clarity in the background (depth of field?) and a little less shadow on the left. Thanks again!!

I like it. The composition is excellent and i am drawn towards sympathy for the dog as a result of it's expression. You've captured the dog's mood really well. Having one eye in the dark seems to accentuate the dog's remorse.

As for Post-Processing i would do the following

Unsharp Mask
Adjust contrast
Adjust white balance
Reduce the light side of the curve
Increase the dark side of the curve
Run it through colour noise reduction

But that's what i would do normally anyway to any photo i term a 'keeper'.
