Playful Dogs

so i just started using Flash mixing with ambient. This is a pic that was taken while testing stuff out in my back yard. Any critique or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Other than the CRAZY tilt, I really like this! I think you've got a great start on utilizing flash outdoors, everything looks well exposed to my eye! I just wish your backyard wasn't sliding off the face of the world to the left.

You need a landscaper to level your garden but flash looks ok but the shot is too tight i want to see more dog

LOL.. you should try mowing it!! yeah.. it was basically me chasing the dogs around with my daughter holding the flash and umbrella.. that was the longest that they stayed still so i just took the shot.. i agree about the tilt.. but im pretty happy with the mixture of flash and ambient.

So cute! I like the photo, the tilted angle not so much but personally I'm not a fan of that angle. Also i think a little more room on the black and white dogs side would have been nice but in moments like this especially with playful animals or children it's sometimes hard to control. But great shot!

I don't like 2 things about this image
1.) tilt
2.) busy background
Would be much better without these problems...

For some reason, the pose+tilt works for me lol...I imagine the dog with the toy screaming "grab hold!!!" while they are both falling over the edge of the world.
