Very nice! That’s the kind of shot I look for when photographing puppies!
The puppy has a nice expression, it’s eyes are nice and sharp, the background has some nice blur to it, and there’s no major “clutter” in the picture. Simple is better in this case! 🙂 The only thing that seems a little distracting is the patch of yellow flowers in the background. It is nice to have some color, but it’s bright enough that your eyes are drawn to it instead of the puppy!
Just for fun, I popped the photo into Lightroom, and tried selectively de-saturating the yellow flowers just a tad. I used an Adjustment Brush with Saturation dialed down to -20
and Highlights down to -50
. I don’t know how much difference it actually makes, but at least those flowers don’t POP out at you quite as much! 🙂
(I also sharpened the picture some to make the puppy’s fur really stand out)
