Hi @grace-galdamez, neat to see some more of your photos!
That photo of the little black puppy is SO cute! The depth of field is super nice. And the fact that you can tell it’s golden hour is nostalgic to me of special times in the morning watching the sun come up while most of my surroundings are still in shadow. I assume it’s not sunrise though. 🙂 The only thing I would change about this photo if it were mine is to make the white balance a little more warm. Some of the puppy’s fur appears bluish which doesn’t look natural.
That second shot is very interesting! It’s nice and sharp on the dog, but he is cropped off at his hind legs so it makes my brain second guess if it’s actually supposed to be the main subject. I suppose that’s why you decided to blur the top half of the photo digitally? That thought is going in the right direction, but because the blur only covers half the cow, it looks digitally added and quite unnatural. This brings attention to the blur (thus, away from the subject) which is exactly what you weren’t intending to do. So, I wouldn’t blur it, and just let the cow play a prominent role in the “story” of the photo, recomposing to include the whole dog.
What a photogenic puppy!! He just captures your heart! Great photo. Nice and sharp. A great subject for a centered composition. The blur around the edges is very unnatural looking and distracting to me. Maybe a little vignette would be fine.
And the last photo of your cat there is a VERY creative shot, it’s just not sharp on the cats face. I do like the interplay of light and shadow, the shapes, the light angle, the textures though! Well composed too.
