    Probably would work better if the statue were not centered. Given the way the head is oriented, the classical composition would have this statue in the right-hand side of the frame, with very little background behind the tail.

    Congratulations. I tried this at an indoor skateboard/bike park and ended up with some very poor results. This was the best out of how many images?

    Cute kid, fortunately, since she has to survive the unflattering deer-in-headlights lighting from an on-camera flash and the too-sharp background. For a photo like this, try using natural light and an f/2.8 or wider aperture to blur the background.
  1. Great photo. I like the composition where the bird is flying mostly towards the center of the frame. It is a shame that the eye and head are not a bit brighter. Perhaps that is why so many nature photographers use on-camera fill-flash with a beam-narrower. It would be interesting to see this with a bit of flash added.

    I would not soften this. Getting this kind of depth of focus in a macro image is a challenge. Most people get softness in a photo like this through technical incompetence.

    Play with me!

    I love this breed. Photographing a black dog is a challenge and the result here is overexposure. Yet because the dog is black, you don't get a high key image with mostly light tones. (I have the opposite problem, of course, with Samoyeds.)

    I like the fact that the birds and the plane are on perpendicular diagonal courses. That adds a lot of interest to the photo. I like the fact that the sky is blank, which reduces the separation between the plane and the birds. Well done!

    Teresa: I wasn't suggesting that you needed to go to art school! We aren't painters so we have to take the world as it comes, more or less. At best we can keep the art theory principles in mind when selecting photos to display.
  2. Everything is purple. If you want to paint a wall one color, that is acceptable to most people. If you hang a photo on a wall, the average viewer would expect to see a balance of colors, not mostly one.

    Perhaps the finest photo on photo.net. I may be biased, though :-)

     

    This beast deserves a cleaner background. The green tree looks as though it is growing out of the dog's tail. One way to accomplish this would have been to use a wider aperture for less depth of field.

     

    The exposure seems perfect, which is always a challenge with Samoyeds.
