About the Image(s)
This is a photo of my daughter’s beautiful Golden Retriever. While visiting I was playing with my iPhone and taking pictures of her. I really liked her expression on this one. She seemed to be curious about what I was doing.
I played around with settings a bit to really focus on her intent gaze.

She looks lovely and as you say seems to be wondering what on earth you are doing!!
You have done well with blurring out the BG which makes her stand out more.
I had a little play with levels and upped the exposure a bit. See what you think? Posted: 03/03/2025 10:00:38

Good timing on the shot. The dog does look very curious. I liked your edits. The change to the background and blurring out the furniture really helped. I had the same thought as Angela, you just needed to increase the exposure a little. Good photo. Posted: 03/04/2025 14:52:44
Nice shot of the dog. She seems to be posing for you. You did well to eliminate the background. The eyes are bright. I would like to see more sharpness in the fur (just being picky) Posted: 03/13/2025 13:46:32
Your photo of this beautiful Golden hit home with me, a long-time owner of these remarkable dogs. You captured a great expression in the dog's face and posture. What is he/she trying to tell you? I agree with others that the fur could be a bit sharper and more clarified.

You captured such a sweet, soulful moment! Her gaze is full of curiosity, and the softened background really brings her forward beautifully. The golden light adds a warm, loving feel-well done, Janet! Posted: 03/30/2025 10:35:41
