Hey! I haven't been around in a long time, so here's a quick update of the photos I took today and yesterday. Feedback is really appreciated, so thanks for your time
1. I love this one a lot because (1) it's a dog (I love dogs), and (2) I love the expression of the dog. I it would look great if you changed it to black-and-white.
2. Awesome! The angles of the sheep's legs are really great! I think that if you cropped out a bit of the top of the picture it would be a bit better.
3. Aaah, really cool. I think that the only thing that'd make it better was if you had taken the picture without the little green plant in front of the front cow.
Great job with these!
Keep photographing, Alzora

I think that I've found something in your photography that's been bothering me for a while. I've not quite been able to put my finger on it before but--- here it is:
I don't quite find emotion in your photography. Technically, it's great. Your framing and your positioning can feel almost a bit too precise at times, and sometimes I think that you can work on making your work feel more personal or natural. The only photo I really got a feeling of being comfortable or natural was the first in this group, and it was just... a taste.
Try making your photos feel genuine. Put yourself into them.
@ Persephoneia, Oh. I think your point is pretty invalid, personally. No emotion? Oh right. Just because everything's not in black and white, because I don't take pictures of people with a look of angst on their faces doesn't mean there's no emotion. I take pictures of what makes my life good. I'm lucky enough to live on a farm, and I adore our animals. You might not get the emotional attachment, but it's most certainly there. I wouldn't expect you to get anyway. Of course, if you're judging "emotion" on your standards, millions of graveyard pictures aren't emotional, they're just darn right disrespectful. That's been "bothering me a while". Maybe before you make such a ridiculous remark, you might want to look at your own photography, which mostly consists of flower shots. Flowers also aren't emotional.
@ 'justagirl', thank you very much for your comments
The clarity is just wonderful and the focus is amazing. I feel the calmness and the serenity coming off of these shots. I think it does have emotion: peaceful, contented, and just plain happy.
Dog) Lovely. I don't like dogs, but that is a gorgeous one right there. I love the facial expression and it looks like it loves posing for shots. Very nice.
Sheep) They are just adorable, and you captured it. I love the way it is looking at the camera.
Cattle) All these animals seem to like posing. This one is very nice as well.
No nitpicks from me, keep up the great work!

I love the puppy. The sheep and cows were cool, but my favorite is the puppy.

Hey, these are all really good! The only thing I have to say is, the last picture would have looked better without the little green plant thing. Well done, though.
Hi snail! The quality of these photos is just gorgeous - what kind of camera do you use? (I'm in the market for a DSLR )
The expression in the puppy's eyes in the first one is just heartbreaking. He's so cute! I think the second one is my favorite - the angles are really interesting, and I like how you've capture the one sheep sort of standing off by himself away from the flock.
Got YWS?

thanks guys! and, @Areida, I use a Sony DSLR A380! But I really wouldn't recommend a Sony. Nikon produces much better cameras, although slightly more expensive, with better features and a wider range of lenses
