The first isn't bad, I quite like the colours and lighting, but definitely crop out teh other dog on the RH side!!

I am totally new- so everything with a grain of salt of course.

First pic- I wonder if the sky to the left of the dog could be toned down a bit? It's so bright it's a little distracting. And I agree about the crop to take out the other dog. I do love the "king of the world" stance of the dog though.

Second pic- until I went back to read your post, I couldn't figure out what this was! lol! I'm still guessing, but I assume it's something paintball related. What kept drawing my eye was the slight striations in the balls. Looks like little hairs running through them- kinda interesting.

Hey, thanks for the inputs and ideas. i didnt relize that my other dog was poking in on the right side, i have Photoshop elements 6 so i'll see what i can do and on a different note i just relized that i managed to spell photographer wrong so if yall want a laught, look at my name. Do i have to make a new account to fix that??
