Jake is beautiful! So handsome! I used to have a dog named Jake but he was an English Springer Spaniel! This is a lovely shot, just a few things that jump out at me, first the lighting, the shadows on the collor area are a tad distracting. And the fur on the lower right side is starting to blow out, not quite there but close. Mayber a tighter crop on the bottom just above the buckle would help with that?
Second the backtround, it almost ends up blending with the dog instead of helping him stand out and the shadow and lines coming in on the right are a tad distracting, again nothing major, just little things. And did you dodge or burn any of this? There seems to be a dark halo around Jake in some areas, that is very distracting. I had this at a 6 but Jake is so wonderful and so loyal (I can tell from his expression) I am raising it to a 7
Now this one looks an angry fella! Watching over his teritorry! But he's just gorgeous! I love german sheppards! I'll have one myself when I get to have a big house. And also a doberman.
Great capture! 9
Jake is very handsome, colors look a little flat though. Also, maybe a tighter crop on the right to get rid of the shadow or whatever that is would help
Beautiful dog, lighting and focus. I think a more careful crop would of raised the score (at least from me). You did a good job of capturing this handsome dogs personality and expression.
Great great eyes. I would have cropped this much closer to eliminate the distracting elements of the house. In on the right to the shoulder and on the left to balance. Beautiful dog.
