Whats the old saying, something to the effect that a best friend would be the one in jail with you after something happens...

well.. Here are Buzz and Woody getting into mischief....

My questions though are...
does my composition work?
Is my background too out of focus?

Rockets Expode
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1000) Aperture: f/5.6 Focal Length: 200 mm ISO Speed: 800 Exposure Bias: +1/3 EV

Your composition is great. That extra space on the side makes me wonder just where these two were coming from.

The background looks fine as you have it.

Great work.

I think the Bokeh is wonderful, colors are great, sharpness dead on.

The only thing I don't like, and it's a stylistic and personal thing, is the composition. I would have left space in the direction they were going, it feels more natural (to me). Clearly, peanit feels differently, which is the beauty of photography.. but my eyes/mind really wants to have a sense they are going somewhere, not just into the edge of the frame haha..

still, great idea!

I was torn myself, as I was thinking .. okay are they coming from somewhere or going somewhere, and when i took it with them dead in the middle, there was no pop.

One of my favorite Disney movies.

The composition is awesome in my opinion, and the bokeh is perfect. Wonderful photo.

This one made me smile! The focus on the subject is perfect. I like the blurry background. I think you should take them downtown and lay in the middle of the street and take it with a more urban background...lol Okay sounds a bit dangerous..but I think something more urban would be great too! Love the colors on the actual subject..makes it pop!
