Took this one yesterday, my daughter was in love with this particular boxer pup (neighbors had a liter of 6). C&C welcomed.

    I like this, but my initial reaction was that she had a really rotten day and was just in her safe place. The darker tone seemed to reinforce that. I'd get rid of that really bright spot in the upper right.

    I had some harsh sun on their right side.. and struggle a bit in post on getting it balanced (without going somewhere radically different on post)

    I like the second edition better as well. I just wish there could have been a tad more light on the face to balance out the strong backlighting on the hair and make the puppy show up a little better. But with that said I will say I am on my work computer with a crappy monitor that tends to make everything darker than it really is.

    Your daughter are precious!

    Thanks for saying so David - and yes, i should have used even the on board flash to balance it out a bit.. I tried to have them turn to even the light out from the setting sun, but then i got the dreaded squints (on both her and the pup). oh well - i'll keep at it, thanks for taking a look.
