With no EXIF data and no specific requests for critique, I'm going to wing it:

It's a cute picture; I like the framing, the lighting, etc.

The one thing I can think of off the top of my head would be this: I would have preferred to have his/her eyes in focus, not the muzzle/nose part. Sometimes having the nose in focus is good, but MOST of the time, the eyes are where it's at.



Still very cute though!

I totally agree with the eyes in focus... He moved back just before I released the shutter which threw them just out of focus....

In order to help you more, (and per the critique sections rules/guidelines) we do need more information. Such as your camera settings (exif) and perhaps some more info on your photo. What is that you like or dont like? Is there anything in particular you'd want help with?

Great photo, I don't think the pup looks afraid, I think he looks as if he is looking for mischief.

Hello..

Cute concept... but.. I'm a professional dog trainer, and that dog definitely looks stressed/afraid to me! Maybe next time try pairing the photo shoot with some hot dogs or other super treat to get his mind off the props.

I fail to see how this is constructive criticism? The purpose of such a post is what, exactly?
