This face is far too cute!!! I love it. Those eyes completely melt my heart. The focus is a little soft.

real nice

Very kind subject! :) Tones are utilized incompletely, though this isn't low key either. There's some "trash" like the hey on bottom.

Not quite sharp.

Very cute--nice sharp capture. But it looks a little on the gray side--did you do levels on this?

Cute photo.
 11/19/2004 04:24:26 PM
a little bit soft focus on this cute pup
 11/18/2004 06:11:02 PM
the "glow" of the fur is nice but I prefer wildlife shots to be tak sharp

Nice detail on the face. Very cute.

I wish it were more in focus...otherwise...cute!!
 11/17/2004 05:15:46 PM
Ohhhhhhhhhh so pretty. Wonderful capture.

The pup's fur is probably soft enough without having to soften it on purpose. Or is it slightly out of focus? The details of the fur would look great in this b&w shot. I like the framing and you've captured a very cute look on its face.

awwwwwwwwh! how amazingly cute. Damn it. this has to win something! if anyone critiques you negatively they are talking smack. Your photo is so soft and cuddly, its beyond fur! well done. If anyone says the reflection on the eye or the whiskers or the nose are wrong, or that there seems to be a large streak across the bottom of the frame, tell them that you weren't aloud to digitally remove said things, or change them, and that the whole art of photography is capturing a moment, and you did that well. Bravo. I give it a TEN! 10! Yeah!
