This is Miss Priss. I found her picture on the shelter’s website (http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/19406684). I was drawn to this picture because I love terriers. It may have come from my obsession with the Wizard of Oz when I was little, ever since I’ve wanted a little Toto look-a-like. I admire this picture because the dog is looking at the camera and her ears are raised. The dog is in the center of the photograph and the depth of field is focused on the dog. However, her eyes do not accent the catch-lights. If I could redo this picture, I would like her eyes to be more of the focus without the glare and for the background scenery to be plainer. These two changes would make the picture completely focus on Miss Priss.
Here I have redone the photo of Miss Priss. She is in focus with catch-lights visible. The background is not competing with her and she is looking at the camera. Also, there wasn’t a flash to capture the glare in her eyes. This picture overall does reflect her personality and makes her more desirable.
This is Otis (http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/19106915). He has been in the shelter since March 2011. The picture below is not very flattering. His ears are down causing him to look scared. A flash was used so there is a glare in his eyes. Overall, not a very appealing picture.
This picture redone of Otis is much more appealing and reflective of his personality. He is truly a fun-loving dog who wants to play. After giving him some love, he sat perfectly for his picture. This picture is a big improvement because his ears are raised with catch-lights visible. He is in the center of the picture and in focus. He was a great dog to photograph.
Great job Jess! Both of your retakes are a great improvement over the previous pics. Your image of Miss Priss is so much warmer and inviting. Otis smile says "play with me!" The only change I would make to his image is somehow adjusting for the strong ambient light coming from his left, though I'm not sure how to do that. Ahhh...so much to learn.
ReplyDelete@Karen, yes I totally agree! I actually wrote that but in the many attempts to post this blog it was lost. Went something like..."I enjoy the picture of Otis except for the fact that the light is shining so much on the one side. Maybe in the near future my friend photoshop can help me correct this minor detail."
