Connection

I think I made this a little too dark/gritty. Any suggestions as to what I could

have done differently? I am not looking for a pat on the back, just real

feedback. ;)

Thanks!

Maybe you don't want a pat on the back;but, I like this Laura.

Thank you! Of course it's nice to get complements, I just wanted to let people know that I am open to negative feedback as well.

It's definitely not too dark. The only thing that I can find that bothers me, and this is the most minor if nit picks, is that when viewed large there are some sort of fine geometric artifacts just barely visible. Some sort of selective smoothing might get rid of it, though I think I like the "grainy" look of the image, which would be lost if you did any smoothing.

A very moving picture, Laura....

Hi Laura,
I love the emotion you've captured here from both the person and the dog.  Well done.
