Critique

I took this photo for the mood/movement assignment.  It was titled the "Take-Off".  The shutter speed had to be high to capture the movement of the dog, and the aperture was smaller, around 5.6.  The photo was taken portrait style, outside during autumn.  The original photo was a bit dark so I used levels in photoshop to create the proper exposure.  This created an interesting contrast within the leaves.  Because it was a sunny day in autumn I was able to use a low ISO.

This photo is about catching a simple moment in life that holds a "bigger picture" for some.  For me this photo is about the small moments that occurs in such away that it brings me happiness.  The colors, reds, oranges, add to this feeling of warmth, and happiness.

I like that I was able to capture the movement where the dog's front paws were off the ground but her back ones were still on the ground about to take off.  One things that bothers me about this picture is the green pine trees in the background, I feel like they're "messy".  Also there is a branch in front of the woman's face and it's a bit distracting.
