Need some critique.
Do you think I got to close?
Is the DOF good?
Is the background too distracting?
Should I do something about her eyes being so dull and dark?
Thanks for looking!



Camera: Sony DSC-H50
Exposure Time: 1/1250
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
F Number: 5.6
ISO: 800
Flash: no flash
Metering Mode: multi-segment

Hope I've included all the info I was supposed to, this is my first time posting in the critique section, so.......

Click here to comment on a few more. Thanks guys!

She just needs to 'pop' a bit more, i've played around with it a bit and come up with this....

Lovely dog btw, i always want to go up to St Bernards and give them a big cuddle. But the fear of dog slobber puts me off!

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't done anything to it yet, the image I posted was SOOC but I like your version! What did you do?

Off the top of my head i adjusted the shadows and highlights (i usually lighten shadows and darken highlights) then adjusted the midtone contrast and added a warming filter to it and dropped the intensity of that down a notch so it was only very slight.

Great capture btw
