Tia On Her First Birthday "Hmmmmmmmm something smells good!"

Tia is very wiley. She is always sizing up every situation to see

what's in it for her. She's thinking, always thinking. When she is

wondering what smells delicious she squints her eyes while sniffing

the air.

 

Any comments, critiques are welcome.

 

Thanks!

very nice work, , best regards, 6/6 ....Bassem

What a cutie! You caught her dignity! I hope her birthday was delightful. I wonder what she wished for? She is going to have to get used to the paparazzi.

Such a forlorn and priceless expression Linda.....Birthday celebrations for both of you....cheers....Tye.

I like the depth of field here, and of course I'm a sucker for dog photos. Two things sort of bother me about this image, though.

 

I'd have to get rid of the bright spot/object in the upper left of the image. As I've often said, I don't use the word "distracting" in photo critique, but the viewer's eye will be drawn to that bright spot every time, rather than immediately focusing on Tia. I can say pretty much the same thing for the fabric on Tia's left side.

 

I'm a bit bothered by the heavy shadow on Tia's left side. You've lost the detail (except for the faint catchlight) in her left eye. As with people, a dog's eyes are the mirror of the soul...I'd like to see more light and detail in the eyes.

 

As I said, I like the d.o.f., but I guess I'd just like to see more detail in Tia. She is definitely a little darling.

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.

Thanks for your critique and helpful advise. I do appreciate that. I will definitly try your sugestions. I agree about dog, and people's eyes being windows of the soul. Thanks again!

 

All the best,

Linda
