    Re: more beginning work

    I really like the shot of the dog in the pickup! Your tones are great, and I think you shot from a good angle. If I could suggest an improvement, it would be to zoom in on your subject a little more.
    Great shot!

    thanks. i've been trying to work on my camera angles. my old work had no good angles, but now im trying to get into the habit of getting good shots from good angles.

    I like the TV and dog in the car shots.. The doggie shot, I think you should submit that one to a photography contest or two. You will very likely win.

    Re: more beginning work

    The dog shot for me is the best of the bunch. i agree with MadCow about getting a bit closer for that , but still works well as it is. The tones are nice an goes with the old car.

    The dog is class. But I would not go in closer because it might mean losing some of the "known around the world" signage and that would be a pity. The TV shot is interesting with that visual white noise on the screen. These are nice and different. The Gunnery shots do not hold much interest for me but it's good that you were trying to find a different angle.
    I wish the dog shot was mine.
