Hi Dan,

Welcome to OPF.

Cute puppy. Quite challenging to shoot, they are constantly on the move if they are not sleeping. Try getting as low as possible, and shoot at eye level (putting them on a table restricts their room for maneuvering and it's easier to get at their eye level). Try to avoid busy backgrounds. Shoot a lot!

Cheers,
Bart
 
Adorable pug! I would love to see her whole face? Do you own a reflector? Even a large white sheet placed on the left may light up her whole lil face!

Hi & thankss for the comments, Also yes i own a reflector but whether she will sit still next to a reflector may be a different matter, although when i get chance i will try my best!

Dan,

Now this is a photograph. The others were snaps. Here you have planned the composition and we get a far better experience.

The asymmetry works well and even the out of focus blurred spots add to the success. The thing to do is to be able to select just this one from each series of pictures you make.

Good job!

Dan,

What a cute subject! I agree that having the puppy look up plaintively is a good idea, but also explore filling the frame and getting down to it's level and making it important. Are you purposely, as part of your design, putting most of the dog out of focus? If so, that's fine. Then give us a title that brings us to this unique world.
