Love the dog shot, love that sort of image. Check out the "eagle & kill" in my portfolio...

We had some snow too, just enough to snarl traffic and cancel the game I was going to go to tonight. Good on ya for getting out to shoot in it. The dog shot is cool, looks like they were enjoying the snow too.

You just get better and better all the time. I love the dogs, and the trees are right up my alley of what I always adore. I hate to hear what is going to happen, though.

I love the dog picture too. That capture does lend a phrenetic urgency to the image. Would have gotten a high score in the breaking new grounds challenge. At least from me.

The dogs are just awesome! The only thing i would change is make it less of a square and more of a rectangle, to increase the speed of their run visually.

I love the dog shot too. But if I were going to crop it I would have pulled more off the bottom then the top. The dark along the top edge gives the image a strong border and even wthout the dark the composition would be stronger with the dogs placed lower. I didn't see that much wrong with the original.

The trees on the other hand....

What about them? There is nothing to them. Perhaps I am jaded as I spend 5 days a week in the woods down here, but I don't see anything but an ordinary treeline.

I do like that. Much more dramatic. That would look very good framed.

This cropping certainly makes it edgier; I prefer the original.

Composition-wise i would probably like to see something like this:

This is a quick hack to illustrate, of course.
