p.1 #1 · #277 - New Puppy


Here, a little girl's legs shelter her new puppy.
I spoke w/ this girl at a dog park. She was very happy about the beginning of her relationship with her new little friend.
(shot this past Saturday when we had some much warmer weather... yea!)
C&C always welcome,
Carrol

Thanks Jason!
Yeah, we had lots of snow last week, and then a major warm-up on the weekend.
Good luck this week,

I agree, this is a very nice shot. You captured this with its natural essence and that is what I like about it. Nothing fancy on anything with processing. Just a really cute shot. Very nice.

Hi Carrol,

This is a great shot that really capture the beauty of everyday life. Technically, the focus is absolutely perfect with just the right amount of detail. Excellent work. Good luck this week,

Steve R. - Thanks so much for your comments! Glad you stopped by.

Steve S. - I appreciate your kind words; thanks!

Karen - Thanks for the comments. Funny, I DID try cropping the left and it felt too cramped to me. I tried it twice... but just couldn't do it.. it just didn't feel right after the crop... I felt they needed more space to be in... and I liked the shadow falling to that side.
thanks!

Wonderful concept for the WA, Carrol and very well done. i agree with karen about the cropping making it too centered. I would suggest that you crop it tightly off the right side. Doing that is a little unorthodox :worried: because the dog's eyes look out in that direction. Usually, one wants to crop something off center so as to have the sublect looking off into the larger area. However, no one cares about the leash trailing off to the right and because it is such a solid color it just draws the viewers eyes off the photo. I tried holding up a pioece of paper to crop off the right, just behind the doggies tail and it worked a lot better for me. You could then also leave more of that shadow you like which is more diffuse so that it isn't such a visual draw. Try it and see what you think.

All best wishes,

Endre
