Please give CC on my dog photo

Ok,

I am a complete newbie here. I received a Canon EOS XSI for my bday and am taking as many shots as i can and reading as much as i can to learn. Please give me CC on this photo or any of my photos on my flickr account. I just feel my shots are never really that sharp.

Can a Mod please move this to the Critiques Corner. I didnt see that section until now.

Thanks

Great dog, good composition, good focus and DOF, fine job. The dog deserves an extra pat for being a good model. Being picky, the color may be a shade yellow - see the grass. Another photographer might use a bit of fill flash, or adjust in PP, but that's a matter of taste. Also optional is to add sparkle in the eyes in PP, using the brush tool.

Send more images!

Good looking dog. Good DOF control. The only distraction, and quite small (and very nit-picky), arethe few darker plants near the top of the photo. Otherwise, your photo looks nice.

I like it a lot. You have in focus what needs to be in focus and the colors look great to me.

Thanks to all for the feedback.

Looks good. Maybe crop the top a little to get rid of the distractions.
