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.

Here's another member of my personal zoo. A dirty faced, poodle-terrier-chow mix named "Flower" by the little girl whose family we got her from.

This is a severe crop taken with my new 85mm f1.8 and available room light. Handheld, f2.8 at 1/30.

Well done. Only thing that could have made it better is if she deigned to look in your direction while taking the shot. The shot shows the lens off nicely and, as Onyx has said, you got great DOF in this one.

i'm not sure ... i think the dog peering into the distance is nice for the story part of the shot.... what is the dog looking at? is the dog about to attack? is the dog about to run away? etc etc

Xerebus, maybe it's the cat owner in me, but I didn't think any of what you say. I thought the dog was just hanging and it CERTAINLY doesn't look like it's about to attack anything except maybe a bowl of food. Shows how we all bring baggage to a photo doesn't it.

Thanks all.

We live, we learn. We stop, we're dead.

I'm adjusting to the DOF. on this baby. I was at about 7 feet, so I figure DOF was about 3-4 inches (8-10cm). She's looking over the top of the sofa at my wife who was standing just to my left. She's a little drowsy from a medication to keep her from scratching herself, too. (The dog, not the wife.)

Those are some great ears. Great looking pooch. Great lens too, if you can crop on that lens and still have it coming out looking this great then, well, I need one of those lenses now too! BTW, if you got the shot with the dog looking at you it would have been nice as well, just different. I don't think that there's a better or worse shot.

This looks really sharp, if that's a crop the original must be terrific! Cute dog too, I'm a sucker for dogs shots ;-)
