I like this david. especially the light just touching the curved tips of the grasses. are the grasses in sand? the highlights might be missing a bit of detail.

i really like the simplicity of the composition. it's a very nice image david

hi jill. this is a great action shot of your kona. i was thinking i might like to see just a little bit more space around him. i am so envious of your snow. where i am, we never see snow at all. it looks great to photograph in.

i like this joao. the strong pattern next to the shadow is effective. nice work.

hi jennifer. i think it is better without the lines. what do you think? there may be a little tonal depth missing and you might also consider changing the color balance. having said that, it is a lot to do with personal taste so don't believe everything i say. and i think you will learn to trust your own eye. everyone always has their own take on an image. i am not sure how you dodge and burn areas but here is how i do it. for example, if i want to lighten/darken an area, like just the face, i would select the area with the lasso tool, then feather the selection, then add a levels or curves adjustment layer. to dodge and burn, i create a new layer, change the blend mode to soft light. i select the brush tool and change the opacity to about 12% then i brush white or black to dodge or burn. btw... i like your buster brown. cheers for now. karen

no problem ray. i agree there is no need to follow any particular rules of composition, so i can appreciate your thoughts on that. thanks for responding.

this is nice shot victor. good connection with the eyes... and yes, really... what an adorable little one.

hi ray. the colours and the light in the shot are really great. the only thing i would do is maybe change the composition so the dog wasn't in the middle of the shot. maybe crop the right and bottom corner. i just love the blue and the gold together.

this is a lovely shot jeff. just needs that bit of sharpness in the eyes. as ryan said it can be really hard to get it just right with shallow dof. nicely done.

December 12, 2008

hi art. thanks for your comment. i think it is an odd image. it catches my eye even though i am not quite sure why.

December 12, 2008

thanks guys. i love to use shallow dof. it can be fun but also tricky with dogs.

thanks for your comment jack. nowhere is right... a very hot, dry and dusty nowhere.

i love the formalist style here tomasz. i also liked the comment from charles noting the light and dark on either side. very good.

thank you very much jennifer. i really appreciate your comments and it is great that my images are giving you some ideas for your own photography. i am still learning too and finding inspiration from other peoples photography all the time.

thanks joao and roman for your comments. i am not sure there is a lot that can be said about a public toilet but i really like this image. maybe it's the light coming through the window that makes it interesting.
