Puppy eyes...

[NIKON365]

While he "Max" is not a puppy, his eyes remind me of when he was. These photographs were taken when he returned home from a biopsy, where he was diagnosed with cancer in his leg. I find myself easily able to connect to these images, and feel they have an emotion to them, but that may be more a personal connection. Please comment, my goal is to improve my abilities to capture images with impact and meaning.

Thank you

Nice b/w conversion. The chair is a little distracting and maybe a lower camera angle to "connect" with your good looking "puppy".

Pet portraits are typically far better if you get down and shoot on their level. It makes it easier to get a good connection with your viewer. It also makes the subject (child, dog, etc) an equal, rather than subservient. Try and watch your backgrounds when possible also... mainly to reduce distractions.

Yes, I agree with using a lower angle you will also connect the leg, which is a vital part of the pic

Charlie summed it up very well. Hope that all works out well for your Dog.
