Chocolate Lab Portrait #2 (same day as 1)

[Weird Girl]

I took this over a month ago but would like to know your feelings on the brightness of her tongue. I can't decide if it's bothering me from looking at it so much or if it actually ruins the picture... Also, do you like or dislike the preset I used for the coloring?Any other comments are welcome! Thanks!!

Hm well what were you going for? To me the tongue is ok, but the eyes are what I find distracting. The yellow coloring seems pretty off, especially on her snout, just looks really unnatural. So I would say I dislike the coloring preset. I do love the composition though!

Well it looks out of focus on the tongue and the eyes ... I'd either like more detail in the tongue or a sharp focus on the eyes ... I think the eyes are the more interesting subject! If you want to get a shot with the tongue out I'd try to make the whole thing sharp by using a smaller aperture.
