    Captured these guys frolicking around their densite, they were a little tentative at first then their confidence grew the longer we stayed.

    C & C most welcome

    Cheers

    Very cute Marc. I like the highlight around the ears and the tongue touching the nose. I do find the sharpness rather crisp, almost like it is a fraction too much. Sweet image.

    Hi Marc agree with Hilary, a sweet moment.

    I do however feel the image has been pushed in it's processing, looking as if it has been lightened quite a bit, quite contrasty in the blacks (no real depth in the eyes) with increased sharpness evident in the overall fur of the pups. Might also look perhaps at the vibrancy of the grass and apply some tweaks with a mask on those key areas, but then it might have been that bright? Is this FF, if not could add a little to the LHS & above IMHO?

    Marc - very cute and definitely something we don't see very often. Some good suggestions and points by Hilary and Steve.

    TFS,

    Cute little guys. I like the different pose and the little angle they're on. Crisp,but doesn't appear too oversharpened to me.

    Very cute, and nicely composed, Marc. Love their expressions. As Steve suggested, a little more room on L and top might help, but still a wonderful capture.
