    I really like it doggie man.. love the story it tells.. kinda like the bright light on the side of her face and the splashing water.. I'm looking for something negative to say about it and I can't find anything..clap.gif others may have a different critique but I think it's great.thumb.gif

    I agree with Lynn here, it's a great shot! The lighting really looks cool!

    Thanks so much for sharing!
    Take care!

    Great shot. I think the hand & splashing water add a lot to the image. Without that, you wouldn't know what she was excited about. It helps complete the story.

    Perfect!

    I think this shot would have worked well if you had used your focus/depth of field (smaller aperature) to allow the foreground to be IN focus, rather than out of focus. It is way too distracting to have a large area blurry, especially if it contains writing or words.

    Its just water , no writing or words? I'll respectfully disagree with you on this one. Thnxs for commenting tho..

    I'll have to disagree on this. What you said is correct for many images, but I feel the photo works best as shot.

    If the hand & water were in focus, and the little girl w/ the great reaction would have been OOF the shot would have lost me. The hand and water are not the interesting part, or the subject. They help tell the story, and because of that they should not take the attention away from what is really shining, the girl & her emotion.
