Doggy Day

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

The second shot prompts a question: Why do you get green eye photographing dogs and red eye with humans?

Yeah he is a nice dog!

These were just impromtu shots! But was pleased with them! I could get rid of the brick wall but seeing as I wont be printing either of these I wont bother. Thanks for looking! I will try and get better ones next time...

Because humans have red blood, and dogs... :wink:

I believe there is a reflective layer just behind the retina of dogs, which makes the light pass the receptor cells twice (similar to what cats have). That gives them better night vision.

With human eyes you just see the the blood rich tissue light up.

Cheers
Steffen.
