He is adorable and I like the details and colors. I think that you captured his personality., For me, a tighter corp to draw attention to the shadow. I also filpped him horizontally. Posted: 03/08/2025 21:56:45
Thank you, Art, Tucker is a real treasure, his personality is very different than our other cocker spaniels; a lot of energy and very loving. I do like the tighter crop better. Posted: 03/26/2025 14:10:45
To me there are two stars to this show, Tucker and his shadow. I cropped to balance that perception. I also did some burning of the shadow and the cushion to Tucker's left. I reduced the shadows just a little under his chin. Who couldn't love that face? Posted: 03/13/2025 09:53:17
I like your crop. Maybe even more from the right side. Posted: 03/17/2025 08:46:18

Great picture Sylvia! I like your crop, I find it very well balanced, I like the geometric pieces of the coach framing Tucker. A very dynamic portrait. I agree with Art about flipping the image horizontally.
I don't know if it is my screen but I find the subject a little bit over sharpened or too much clarity or texture in the post processing. But I might be wrong. Hope to see another portrait of Tucker growing up in the future. Posted: 03/20/2025 03:32:39
