My 13yr old son saw this coming when family came over for

thanksgiving, He positioned himself for the shot when the dog came in.

*No cats or dogs were harmed in the making of this image :-)

Comments welcome,

Thanks for looking,

Not sure if this would be classified as true macro...Shot w\50mm macro

I am interested in your thoughts about this shot?

Thanks,

Thoughts?

This is our cat, she sits so well for pictures. Taken Canon 40D 50mm

and 1 AB400 w\32" shoot thru.

Wondering what others thoughts are on this image.

You have the eye as I say, the composition is really good, and you caught a great pleasant expression.

As for the overall image:

Bags\dark circles are always a problem, it's a given in PS work to fix bags and\or dark circles.

Your camera exposed for the face, which is darker then the hat by far, so what you get is a nicely exposed face, minus the left side, and blown out hat. I assume the sun was beating down on the hat or you were real close and the flash did it?

Get a 430ez or used 550 or 580ex, your flash pix will improve immediately.

Diffuse your lighting, just Google 'diffused flash' and you will have a lot of reading to do.

Just rubber banding a index card to the flash helps tremendously.

Overall, way above average here for new gear and a supposed novice :-)

Love it, would also love to see this one in B\W and\or sepia. This looks like one you would get on a canvas and hang in the child's room. Very nice work!

Love the photo and mood. I do have to agree w\another commenter here. I would like to see the whole image, not sure the vignetting is necessary here, IMHO. I think seeing more of the flowers along side her would really add to the soft mood of the photo.

Still, it's a great image!

I like different and pictures with mood, I think this image just about covers both :-)

Excellent work.

What do you think?

thanks for your thoughts.

Love the dark almost magical tone to this image. Fantastic!

Thank you all for the nice comments, just to let everyone know she wasn't crying or sad, she was in the middle of a peek-a-boo. I guess you could say she was in the "peek" stage :-)

She started doing this all on her own while I was turned away, I had a split second to get this, as soon as I captured this, the hands came open.
