A group 'portrait' of Caly our Airedale, Carol, and I on a snowshoe expedition in the woods behind our place in Vermont on Mount Ascutney. If you never have, snowshoeing is a great winter activity, an easy workout, and provides great opportunities to getting to those far away spots in the woods...

This was shot in a shaded area in the woods, light snow falling, shot on a monopod in the ground on a 10 second timer.

Editing: Crop, exposure adjustment, minor noise ninja.

I really like the broad DOF - terrific focus. I can't relate to snow. Wish I could. :~)

Composition: I like that the dog has jumped up for the shot.

Lighting/Exposure: Perfect. No blown out snow and no serious shadowy spots. Very lovely.

Pose: You both look very relaxed.

Suggestions for Improvements: I'd really like to see you sitting up on that rock with her. Usually, the female's eyes should be on the same line as the male's mouth. I would also crop out the empty space to the right.

You guys look like such a happy family! What a lovely keepsake to have.

Nice shot! I like the colors of your clothes against the white/brown of the area. Nice that you got the stream in the shot. I would crop it much tighter if you want a shot for the wall as the trees pull my eyes away from the people. Technically everything looks great!
