CrazyCresties Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I took some pics at the weekend for a friend and am just getting round to editing them. As usual I'm not sure of my results :laugh: They are 'just' for a friend, but I would like to do the best I can with them, so would appreciate any advice/critique you can give before I do too many of them :) I have just calibrated my editing monitor, but when I look at them on other screens, the greens in particular look less vibrant, so let me how they look to you. TIA :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCresties Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Not really constructive criticism :laugh: but thank you OsO No plans at the moment to head down your way, but I would like to :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebanne Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I love the last 3, I don't like the first one cause of the shut eyes and the 2nd one I'm not sure about, I think I would like to see more foreground in the pic if available. That's my critique if I had taken them, if I was your lucky friends I would treasure each and every one of them and be so pleased you took them. BTW the colour seemed good.

Are You Serious Jo Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Number one and number 3, no.1 can't see eyes, so I'd ditch it. No. 3 is a problem because the exposure is uneven due to being taken in the bright light. No. 2 needs the white area cloned out at the back because it makes the dog look like he has spilled out at the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks for the advice :) I have a few with her eyes open in the first one, was interested to see what was thought of that 'pose'. I thought it looked like a happy smile, but I know some people like to see eyes in each one. I'll have a go at the highlights behind him in #2, I hadn't noticed that before but I see what you mean now it's been pointed out. I'll also have another play with the crop and see how it looks with more foreground. Cheers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Lovely expressions :) :) .but my monitor shows them as all over exposed , darn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Lovely expressions :) :) .but my monitor shows them as all over exposed , darn it I see them all as slightly over exposed too, on both my laptop and my phone. And #1 with the eyes shut really annoys me, I'd not use it if it was of my dogs, I'd want eyes open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 CC, none of them look over exposed on my screen (macbook) all have really good definition and I can't see any blown out bits at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainers Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 They don't look overexposed on my monitor either. I think #3 is a lovely shot :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipup Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I love them all and would be thrilled if I was your friend and received these, as they are :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Not blown out on mine :) Light is a bit harsh in 3 and 5, but sometimes that can't be avoided. The first one is slightly greenish to me, in the gap between the edge of his mouth and the bottom of his ear - but that's just nitpicking and not something I would worry too much about. I like the closed eyes one, I have heaps of Sid with closed eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Ok, thank you very much everyone for the comments and advice :) I will go back to editing them now along with the 300 odd I took today of RubyStar's labs and her mum's mini schnauzer! I know what you mean about the green bit huga, and annoyingly once I uploaded them I also noticed she must have had a new collar on, as the pink dye has come off on her throat area where she had drooled - grrr :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
