Description
Second of the chasers, younger, swifter and a lot more crazy then his older friend. Chasing a toy is also about the only time he's focused, the rest of the time he's running around, switching his attention from thing to thing or loudly complaining that he's bored. Also hates when people photograph, since it means they stand in place and don't throw him sticks.I wish the frisbee fit into the picture, will try to get such shot next time, but I love the way he's caught in the middle of a jump, so I decided to share this one as well.

I guess there's a same problem with contrast as before. Also I want to point that you failed with horizon on that one. with Rotation CCW on 9* this photo looks much different and better and it will looks like this dog tries to fly. And on that photo looks like dog is falling. Also the rise of the contrast will not only make "golden hour" looks better, but it also will add deep nice color in the sky which fill about 50% of the shot, so it's something that better be add. And don't forget the rule of the thirds and diagonals.

It's interesting that you say so, because frankly, the tilted horizon was exactly why I've chosen this picture over others. I like the way horizon tilts down while the dog tilts up - straightening produces relatively normal picture of a jumping dog. Could you please tell me more about the use (or misuse) of diagonals here?
As for the colors, it's valuable information. I'll have to reconsider whether I'm not trying to avoid too colorful pictures so vigorously that I end up with grey ones
Thank you for your opinions.

Well diagonals goes with the thirds and they are also "eye catching", they goes through one third cross point to another.
Also, why do you ask for critique if at the same moment you are defending your photo and your reasons?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because a critique gives me unique point of view for my photos. I've looked up the original of the photo and tried straightening it as you suggested, but I didn't like the result. Does it make your critique less important? For me, it doesn't, I've tried something I wouldn't have tried otherwise (because the way I presented the picture seemed absolute to me).
I've tried to explain it under your journal already - critique isn't a fight between author and you. It should primarily be an advice how would you make the picture. Author then decides, if your way seems better to him or (because you aren't him) if he feels his own artistic intentions were different then your advice. But he thinks about the result in different way then he would have without the critique.

Brilliant picture! You've perfectly managed to capture and convey the movement and kinetic energy in this stunning shot! Also he's a great looking dog, I love the energetic ones!
