This is great for a background and really needs a person to fill the space in the left.

This is a photo filled with a joyful emotion. There are some lighting problems though. The light fades off to the left of the image a lot giving it an unbalanced feel. The dog is in too much shadow in my opinion and the brightest spot is on the woman's mid section. My eye is drawn to just about her knee which is not really where you want the focal point. The lack of back-lighting is noticeable. Great staged shot and lot's of fun! Good colors!

A little too much space at the top in my opinion. Also the background isn't as well lit as it could be.

Look at that, you used f11... wonder how you got such a short focal length at 60mm.

Guessing the subject distance and inputing your stats in DOF calculator you get the following results:

Subject distance 3 ft

Depth of field
Near limit 2.85 ft
Far limit 3.16 ft
Total 0.31 ft

In front of subject 0.15 ft (47%)
Behind subject 0.16 ft (53%)

............................................

Subject distance 5 ft

Depth of field
Near limit 4.6 ft
Far limit 5.48 ft
Total 0.88 ft

In front of subject 0.4 ft (46%)
Behind subject 0.48 ft (54%)

.............................................

Subject distance 6 ft

Depth of field
Near limit 5.43 ft
Far limit 6.71 ft
Total 1.28 ft

In front of subject 0.57 ft (45%)

Nice use of the landscape to compose the shot and lead the eye to the subject!

In Spring the Eagles Return

This shot had so much potential but I gave this a 5.... A longer focal length is needed to get closer. The wires take away from the shot. If you could have framed to crop them out it would have scored higher in my book. The B&W conversion is excellent with deep black tones in the shadows and nice highlights and midtone greys. The eagle, who is the star of the show, is barely noticeable among the clutter...
