[QUOTE="Essence of Imagery, post: 17141, member: 920"] My opinion: Shot 1 - Too hot, with way too many blown out details. I find the _________ right above the dogs' head (floating in mid-air) and the grey (cushion pattern??) to be distracting elements to the photo. Perhaps metering for the outside light and using a fill flash to compensate for the dog would work better. Shot 2 - Absolutely beautiful shot. The eye is sharp, captures the attention of the viewer, the depth of field is wonderful, just the way I would have shot it. Love the composition!! Shot 3 - A nice shot, but I might have considered shooting in the landscape orientation instead of portrait, as the orientation leaves a LOT of negative space in the upper half of the frame. Shot 4 - I have to respectfully disagree with cnyram - I believe the darkness I'm seeing is from a vignette being applied to the image, not from the image needing a fill flash. I'd suggest removing the vignette, perhaps using a CPL filter to bring down the brightness in the top portion of the image. Nice shot, and I like the composition. [/QUOTE]
