[QUOTE="dfarmer03, post: 19190, member: 5914"] All excellent advice! Thank you!! Because it was a mirror shot I edited the nikon strap as I didn't want it to be backwards. I completely missed the emblem on the camera!! I will definitely fix that tonight and any others that stand out. She's a silly dog :) This was my first attempt at a portrait and I used "ghetto home lighting". All very good advice here and will certainly keep these tips in mind for next time. I had a difficult time "directing" the subject.. then again it's my wife ;) She's a good sport lol You know.. I'm really not sure what it is I like about this shot, but I like it. Maybe it's because I live in Vermont and it's been an awful long winter and yesterday was one of the first "nice" days we had. The shot just made me happy to look at. I guess it was the colors of spring re-emerging. Thank you so much for the feedback Anthony -- you're advice will be very helpful! -Derrick [/QUOTE]
