I like it a lot, the only thing is that if his eyes would have been a litle lighter..but otherwice a very nicly done. I also like the original version.

please tell me what you think. Also, check out the original in my

animals folder.

I like this, especially since that looks like a beagle and I have one, but I don't really care for just he ball being in color.

thanks scott, check this one out.

Well composed shot, to be picky i would have preffered a tighter crop, (bottom and little at the top), im not shure the colored ball fits to well. If you dont mind i upload a suggestion, cropped only at the bottom. Regards!

Suggestion:

Atle, Thanks for your critique. I am taking a photography class, and am slowly learning composition as well as many other things.

Kind regards, AJ

I like this shot a lot. Maybe some fill flash would lighten the face depending on how far away you were. IMO the open cropping is fine - room to roam !

Richard, thanks for the advice.

Actually, I really like the ball being in color. It makes me think of the dog's world, and how in that moment, the ball is the only thing of importance. It's all about the ball for the dog!

 

I like the exposure. Good contrast.

 

I also agree with the previous comments that the crop could be a little tighter and a flash would definately help get some character into the dog's eyes so they aren't so flat. Animal eyes without any sparkle can look dead, flat or scary.

 

Another idea for this shot would be a little longer exposure to get some motion blur on the dog's tail wagging. It would be hard to do, but occasionally the dog stands still for a moment while the tail keeps wagging.

Perfect analysis! His world is that tennis ball and trust me, he loves life. I live in Cincinnati and it is is a little cold right now. Next summer I will take your advice and see if I can recapture this shot with more fill light and try a litte longer shutter speed. Thanks for all the great feedback.

the tennis ball yes I remember the yellow soggy with dog drool tennis ballllllllllllllllllllllll

I really like this photo! I also agree with your choice to leave only the ball with color. It does give you the feeling that the ball is what is important to the dog, but it doesn't take the focus away from the dog either. I like the cropping, as well.

My english is not perfect, I hope that you can understand me... sorry. Your photography is wonderful, this dog is perfect and maybe it was passage a good time with this boll in the water... congratulations!!!!

I wish his eyes weren't blacked out...
