This is my dog when we were visiting Inverary(?) Castle (I think it is Inverary but I'm not positive. Inverary is in Scotland for the non-scots)

This is really good, especially given its an animal, and I know how hard those are to photograph! So you have done a really good job. Just out of interest, have you photoshopped it at all? The lines are very very clear and the colour contrast is quite high, so if not, then awesome, and if so then nice editing! The only tiny suggestion I have is that next time, try to make sure that a little more of the wall beneath his feet is in focus, because it cuts out a little too close to him and looses the frame.

Otherwise, great!

Hey GreenEyes!

That's an awfully cute picture. *Wants to snuggle dog.*
It's a really good picture and I'm sure you can't get animals to pose easily so I'm not going to comment on that.
I think you might have used Picasa or some other such software to give the blur effect. I think it quite ruins the photo. Unless you use macro function, blurs don't end up looking good. Here, it turns a really good photo into something that looks like an amateur edit.

So besides this little thing, there's nothing to complain about. I love the crisp-ness of the dog. Very Good.
Keep it up.

Aww what a cute little doggy! A few things you might want to change though. The blurring around the edges is one. If you purposely did it, I think you should remove that effect and then it would be much better. And there seems to be a lot of extra space at the bottom. Possibly you could crop it so it's more even. Other than that, awesome! :D
The quality is phenominal by the way ;)

Hey!

I really like this photo! The focus and clarity of the dog is absolutely wonderful! He has adorable eyes!

I agree with Janay; I think that the blurring of the edges on this is a bit too much. It kind of melts the eyes, and I think you should either crop it down, so we're still focused on the dog with a bit of stonework, or perhaps undo it. ;)

Either way, it's a beautiful shot. I'd love to see more of your photos!

Hey there! I absolutely adore the photo you've taken, it's very artistic and taken at a perfect angle with just enough surroundings in the frame. Flawless photo!
Personally, like some people have mentioned, you should tone down the blurring. I think it's too much and it makes the scenery seem pixelated or out of focus, which I don't think is an admirable effect. What I would like to see, though, is the photo completely without effects as I beleive that this will show all the potential. Remember keeping it simple is sometimes for the best!
Keep up the photography, everyone loves it! :D

I like this, its really lovely.
The focus is good and the unfocusing around the edges really brings your attention to Bailey(?)
The way you've also captured it as him looking away from the camera is a kind of watchful pose fits well with it being in a Caste. Like he's a guard.
Well done!

I love this one. I especially want your camera!!!!

I love the focus and the soft edges near the bottom. The clarity is amazing! The dog's position is perfect. Generally the phot cream together amazingly!

Again.. i want your camera.

To be honest this reminds me of something my dad would have taken of me when I was younger. Me looking througha window off into the distance, softenig around the edges of the frame. And trust me that is a compliment, my dad is an amazing photographer whom i wished I had learned from! (but have some truly amazing baby pictures to show for it)

Awesome =] it's now one of my fave photos and given how hard animals are to get to pose you've done an awesome job



I feel like it will be absolute hotdog water, but oh well. It's just a draft.
