Hello :)

This is a picture of my black lab Molly. I was hoping to get some feedback on it. I am VERY new to the photo world, and this was taken witha Kodak Z650 digital camera

    Welcome to Dgrin. wave.gif. That's a pretty dog. My last dog was a lab, I love that breed.

    You clipped part of Molly's head on the shot otherwise the comp is pretty good. Looks like you had some tough lighting.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Harry!

    I'm still not a whiz with the lighting. The camera has a histogram that will tell me where the light is, but I'm still working on reading it ;) There's also a spot on her chin that I can't figure out. It certainly isn't on her physically.

    I second Harry's welcome!

    Like Harry said, looks like you had some tough backlighting to contend with and the dark fur on your friend didn't make life any easier. But, looks like you over-came those challenges in a well-executed manner.

    The strange spot may be an artifact of the fill flash? I don't know. If you attempt this again, you may want to dial back the fill flash a bit and see if that spot disappears.
