Tenshi

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.

I took this picture this afternoon at a friend's 40th
birthday gathering, with my little compact Pentax
Optio P70. Tenshi (angel) is only a young puppy (14
months old), but large as a small horse, curious and
very friendly. In fact, a gentle giant.

but large as a small horse,


man i would hate to be paying his food bills :shock:

I like the picture, however easing off on the highlights and replacing the harsh vignetting border with a nice feathered in soft one would suit my tastes more. btw check that tongue out, could lick ya to death.. :cough:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Nice portrait. I don't mind the highlight on the nose as it adds to the high contrast feel of the image. Well done.

I appreciate your comments, guys. I am at
work now, but when I return home tonight
I will have another go at that jpg file. As I
was using a little compact camera the original
pic is in jpg format, which means I have less
options for manipulation.
