Very cute shot! I like what you did with the background to keep the focus on the dogs. Great shot of these two, it has a nice feel to it even though they aren't looking at the camera, like they are daydreaming, hehe.

    Thank you for your kind review, especially your oppinion on the background.
    They aren't day dreaming. Toby is hiding behind Sam after bringing himself in trouble, doing the "What? It wasn't me!" thing and Sammy "II didn't hear you, I don't now about anything anyway"

I feel this allows a balanced & fair overall review. As I have no formal training of the arts or even a photography course.~

Please don't feel you need to respond to a review if your very busy~ & pushed on time no offence taken.~

wow what cute pups they are. Especially like the little one right next to his buddy. Colors seem okay with good clarity and focus. Nice image being a pet owner can relate to this and good luck in contest.

Well, I like this much more than the other one for sure. The back is softer and more natural and doesn't take away from the dogs, which are the POV. The dogs are caught very well, especially the little one's attitude. The Lab is wonderful but I am partial.
Thanks for sharing this one, much better.

    Thank you Annie, for having a look as this at well. I was OK with this version but not every one is. It wasn't easy to find something what empathise the dogs. The original cluttered background was worse than the digital filter in the version we both dislike. Believe it or not, the owner of the dogs liked it but disliked my final version. I guess what works for people and what doesn't is very personal. Thanks again very much for your help.

Love the expression on both of these fine pups. I like the color, composition and the background is good as well. It does not take away from your main subject but helps them pop. The photograph sends the viewers eye around and in the photograph. Nicely executed.

Comment from lorac1


That is a striking picture of the two dogs who think they are brothers. One can see how content they are to be together. The colors are harmonious, and the detail is good. Removing the clutter is always a challange, and you have done a nice job.

Very nice shot. The dogs look fantastic out of the new painted back ground. Well centered, great focus, lighting and exposure. I really like this one.

Well, the background certainly does add a lot more interest to this photo - it makes it look more professional and helps to keep the focus on the beautiful dogs - I believe they are best buds!

    Thank you so much Annamarie, Your review helps me very much to find out about how my ideas work. This background is controversial. Seams it is one of the things people strongly like or strongly dislike.
