    My first reaction to this was that it is kinda amateurish/snapshot looking. In trying to explain that, I say that there is so much of distraction going on around the subject it's hard to focus on what you are trying to get us to look at. A tighter crop and mroe background blur would go a long way, I think.

    I agree with Lava, too candid for my liking. Definately could do some neat reshoots though.

    I think it's the brightness that isn't doing it for me. He looks like he should be in a dark alley, with a lone streetlight shining down on him after having the dickens beaten out of him.

    Re: Please Help Me!

    Hi all, Thanks for the comments.

    Totally forgot that I'd posted this. Yes agree with all the comments - I was just playing around and couldn't decide whether it was any good at the time. Now looking at it afresh your right its just a snap taken after the dog had stopped playing.

    She normally shreds these toys in minutes but for some reason she looks after this toy.

    Not been viewing for a few days so appologies for not getting back sooner. Works going to get a bit quiet for a week or so then I'll be only 135% allocated to projects, so I may get some time to take some photos - isn't life great!.

    Merry Christmas to all

    Roger

    Roger, yes , this is basically a quick snapshot but being you had posted this about a year ago I won't go on with a critique about it. you have come a long way since then, as we all have.
    please do not edit and repost my photos
