Thank you both.
Yes "Best Friend" could be slightly out of focus. I shot this in macro and focused on the dog's name "Dalton" although the N looks a bit out of focus to me.
Yep, a macro would be good. :thumbup:
As for lighting, I'd experiment with several different sources (I like outdoors/sun best) but try to stay away from an on camera flash to your subject's eyes. I'm sure that's obvious though.
Just in a bit of a funk lately. What else is there to do but to capitalize on my own sorrow?
First time trying HDR. I've always told myself it was too fake/processed looking. But you know what? Today I kind of like it. What do you think? <----or CC welcome ;)

There's so many but I'd have to say my favorites would be LensWork and Aperture. Probably not the top 2 as far as the market goes. I also like Outdoor Photographer, American Photo and B&W + Color.
:lol: I used to call them honeysuckles when I was a kid too. Then I found out that honeysuckles are different flowers.
Yes, these do taste good - like candy.
I kind of like the softness but I doubt you're looking for a critique :)
I think these flowers are called columbines not honeysuckle.
(Hi, from a fellow Minnesotan.)
These are both very nice IMO. The colors of these 2 hot rods make a nice contrast between them and nature's sky/tar road.
I'm not real keen on the crop/framing in the first one - kind of would like to see less space behind (or maybe more in front instead of behind) the hot rod but that's just me.
I posted my 2 boys on the Pets of TPF thread but being a HUGE dog lover I'll be more than happy to post them again.

and I'll add Dalton whom I just lost to cancer on the 10th because I still miss...
Love it!
Maybe IF I'd change anything at all, I'd try real money & coins or older poker chips instead of the newer brightly colored poker chips??? Maybe.
