    Smile Open Wide!

    I went for a walk this morning, when I got home this bugger was sitting on my back fence. I grabbed my camera and quickly changed lens and went outside. I got very close up to him, he just sat watching me while I shot away. Here's a photo I got, what do you think?

    Awesome shot!
    Not much critique needed here. I would say a little curves treatment to added some constrast/punch and I probably would have gone with a portrait orientation instead of landscape on this.

    Really funny shot. There's little to improve here. If anything, I'd maybe cut a tiny little bit of the left side, to make it a little less centered. But I'm nitpicking now...

    Yea, I didn't have time to change the angle of my camera, I was just waiting for him to do something, and then bam! he opened his mouth so I just quickly held the camera up and took it. didnt want to miss it.

    If I cut it, then the photo will end up square rather than the measurements it is supposed to be but yea, I agree the centre part.

    He's looking right at you ... I think centered is just fine on this one.

    Cool capture. It is touch when that moment pops up to get the shot you want before it is gone. Great job here.

    this is a great capture! I like it centred and am okay with it being landscape.
