This image has nice color and good balance of composition top to bottom and also with the scale of the houses.
The other images or okay, exposure is good and so are the colors, but the focus and composition seem off. The focus issue might be an issue with resizing for the web. any time I reduce an image's size I use a little unsharpen mask in PhotoShop to bring back the crispness of an image. Just a little will do, though. 100%, 0.3 diameter, 0 threshold.
As for the composition, try and capture a feeling of being together with your subject. With the dog that means getting down on the floor and seeing what looks good. And I mean on-your-stomach-head-turned-so-you-can-see-the-viewfinder-sideways down on the floor, too.
Good luck
thanks for the C&C. YOu don't know how much I value your comments. Personally just because you're a way better photographer than I am at this point in time
I was fooling around with the pictures and my car was dirty so I wanted to keep it dark and gloomy, grainy, and "dirty". Ya that oil spot is an eyesore now that you mention it. LOL.
Funky, its all about being (becoming) a critical viewer of your own work. I think I have reached a level of technical consistency which I am happy with, but that sometimes tricks me into thinking I have a good image when all I really have is a technically good image. Exposure, color, sharpness, etc are only factors that help support the feeling captured in an image, but they are not the image itself. Maybe that's too zen for Sunday night, but I think its true....at least for me.
Awesome! Thanks for the critique. I really appreciate your comments.
Yeah, I was trying different things with the dachshund, but they're just a pain to work with. Boy, they weren't kidding when they said never work with kids or animals.
Will give your tips a try!

I know what you mean. I'm in an experimental funk lately. But the consistency still has to be worked on. It's coming..I feel it haha.

Well, its been alittle while since I posted, so here's some of my favs from this weekend.
Unfortunately, this one is a little over exposed from a combination of flying into the sun and my bad Konica Minolta. I have my private pilots license and a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go flying in a Piper Cub. It was WAY too much fun. So easy to fly, and so pure... Hell we didn't even shut the doors on the one side, which is how I got that shot.
There's something about Beaver Stadium that never ceases to amaze me...

Can anyone reccomend a good photography school? I might take a few short courses next summer if time/money permits.
Unless you are interested in developing your own photos you will probably learn just as much from reading online and purchasing a few self-help books. Teachers are great but they are only one critic...on the internet you can get feedback from hundreds of people.

CHuyler is right. I'm self taught as well. It's a neverending process. Any question you have developing in your head...Google it.
What I do is I look at a lot of people's work and if I find something I like, I'll try to replicate it. So I know how it's done. Then I do it enough times that I can do it without fumbling. I posted some links within all these pages for some helpful stuff like forums and flash photography and some tutorials. It all depends on how serious you want to get. And sometimes..it's the equipment, not the photographer haha.
