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.

Hi,

Took a few pics of my doggie Ted the other day with my 50mm lens. Hope you like it. He sat still for a few minutes which was good.

C&C welcome and PPOK.

The second one is far better than the first, but you clipped his right ear a bit which detracts from it slightly. A feisty, difficult to photograph dog perhaps.

He looks angry with you.

I agree with what Killa said - great 2nd image..the first one looks like it could have used some fill flash. Nice stuff though :)

Dogs are awesome!

Unhappy about having his ear clipped, probably :-)

I love Ted's expression though. That floppy ear gives him a lot of character.

Thanks for the tips, the cropping is easily fixed as I cropped it after the fact during the Post processing,

I had his bone in my left hand while I was clicking away, that could be the reason for his expression. :wink:

with regards to the first photo, yes fill flash as well as a shallower DOF would have been good.

Cheers

The second one is much better Makario,and I'm sure if you had a nice steak in your hand ,instead of a bone ,his expression would have been even better,and therefore a better photo!!!!! :D :

Cheers NeoN.
