Compositionally, this shot has some strong points. The different "shapes" set up with the lines are very effective. The plants and the wall "lead" diagonally to the fence. And the "squarish" shapes of the wall is a nice contrast with the vertical fence railings. I think cropping just a bit off of the left side would help a couple of things. It would eliminate some of the "dead" space on the left and it would get rid of the little clump of greenery that is a bit distracting.
Technically, the lighting and exposure on this is good. What hurts is the focus. It doesn't look "soft," it just looks blurry. If the walls and green stuff were focused and just the dog was blurry, you would have a great action shot. Unfortunately, it is all out of focus.
If the shot became fuzzy upon resizing for dpc, you may want to check out the tutorials, or if you are using PaintShop or Photoshop, make sure you are using bicubic resampling when resizing.
this is a hard photo to capture. this is one of those deals where you have to use up that 1 GB card just to get one good photo. this photo is really out of focus. i think that this is a very good idea and the lighting and the framing is excellent.
Cute image of a cute dog. I like your composition, but the dog should be in focus as he is the main focus of your image. I like the movement though!
Just my opinion, hope it helps.
No real focus in this shot. It appears the dog is the subject and the motion would be a good capture, but it is too OOF. The plants sticking up in the foreground are also a tad bit distracting.
I am not sure why this is not in focus. You are pointing straight at the dog and flowers, something should be in focus. I'd say keep taking photos until it is in focus. The composition is good.
