Some new shots from this weekend, mostly of Luka (*12 pics*)

I was just looking back through these again and had to mention the other photo that really stood out to me that was this one:

I really like this one too. You really captured the excitement and intense concentration of Luka in this one. The flying labbie ears add some humor to it as well. I think you made a good choice in using black and white for this photo too. You really have a good eye and I enjoy your photos a lot

Wow those photos are all so amazing and clear! I wish my photos looked like that. And all your dogs are so beautiful. Your photos bring out the personality in their eyes.

I'm no professional photographer, but I think they are fantastic! Of course it helps when you have beautiful subjects!

These photos are amazing!! Usually, I don't really like tilt photos, but yours look great. I think in the last picture, it would have been cuter if you had gotten their paws in it too, and not cut them off. Also in the "got it" photo if you would have had it rotated the other way so you got a full body shot. Also, the one of Luka sitting with the frisbee in the background shouldn't have been tilted.

I feel rude being the only one to post bad critiques.

Don't get me wrong, they are all STUNNING photos.

I agree with you there! I wish I had gotten them in too, unfortunately they move so fast that it can be difficult.

I agree there, too. The reason it's vertical vs. horizontal is that I was taking pictures of her jumping up after the flippy and on that throw it bounced and she went after it, I didn't have time to tilt my camera the other way.

I actually prefer it tilted

But I appreciate you saying that, obviously it's just preference and nothing else. But this is how I learn what people like and don't like, so I appreciate it!

Don't! I need critiques no matter if they are good or bad! If everyone I encounter says that my photos are fantastic I wouldn't have any desire to improve them. But the fact is they just aren't that good in the professional realm and I have a lot to learn and improve upon. I don't really expect to get real critiques on a pet forum but of course I'll take any I can get. I post on a Canon forum too and I get a lot of feedback there, sometimes it's really not what you want to hear because a lot of people are overly critical at times but really, that's how you learn.
