Hmm, well done. They were somewhat small (You could increase up to twice that size) and the 'Reflection' one was rather dark. Those two points are easily correctable with a photo editing program, though. My favorite was definitely the dog, and the jump captured amazing action. All in all, these are okay photos. They aren't what you'd call professional, but they're a whole lot better than some beach pictures I've seen. (Like mine XD) Jenth
1. Good photo. I want Max! But, he is looking at something in the distance, if you snapped your fingers or held a treat by the camera you could have gotten him to look towards you and the photo would have been better. You also could have stepped a bit back so parts of his head weren't cut off. Maybe if you stepped even farther back you could have go a picture of him staring at the ocean. Also, there is a bit of blur by the bottom of his mouth.
2. As Jenthura said this photo is a bit dark. That can be changed pretty easily in any photo-shopping program like Gimp. The thing I really didn't like though was that when I looked at it I felt no emotion. You could have directed the girl to do something to convey something. With all the mist and the bleak sky sadness or confusion would have been great. You could have told her to kneel in the water, hit it so you could capture a splash, or raise her hands above her head like she was praying. There are a lot of things. Now it just looks like a girl liking the way her hair fell twoards the water.
I think these are great photographs. The close up one of the dog especially. He looks like a real sweetheart I respect the natural quality of it all.. It's so free form. Not all photography has to be deep or tweaked using photoshop. Photography takes many different angles. I like the one you've captured here. Great work!
