few of the new mutt and the old, i find the expression on the small dogs face in the first picture to be kind of disturbing? lol :S
i enjoy shooting the dogs because you capture those seconds that most probably wouldnt even notice if you were just watching them in person. I guess its the same for people

When shooting animals, try to shoot them from their eye level, not from your own. It gives them more...personality, I think, like you're shooting an animal rather than a pet, if that makes any sense.
The memorial shot was taken outside of the Fairmont Hotel across from the Convention Center and the umbrellas I believe are on Robson (some store display).
I always feel that pictures of graffiti and other street art needs a person walking by to anchor the photo, to give it depth and scale.
Like a slightly blurred person walking in the lower right of the 2nd pic would make it a great street photography pic.
I know what you mean but there was no one around but my gf and she didn't want to be in the pics lol!
the second pic, lower right is actually graffiti as well and not a person. that 'person' is approximately 2.5' tall so for scale, these graffiti shots are approximately 1 story tall.

Of course sometimes it just doesn't work. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I mean, I like the colors and composition but it's just missing a little something to make it pop. Just my observation.
Usually when people don't want to be in pictures, I tell them they don't have to have their face in it. She can have her back to the camera or face down looking into a phone. And if they see it and it's a brilliant pic, they'll pose for real next time.

3 and 5 stand out for me. 3 might work better as a B&W as well and 5 is sexy as all hell. Made a great image out of an otherwise mundane situation.

Thx for the feedback! And no offense taken.
I'm still getting used to the Leica system and manual focus
Ill hopefully contribute with some better pics soon. Posted via RS Mobile

Sorry for being off topic. What kind of breed is the older dog? My dog looks identical to it and I'm not even sure what breed my dog is haha... I was told she was a pure breed Lab, but that's not true.
So I was looking around Craigslist when I spotted this Tamron 24-48 f3.5-3.8 lens and all it cost me was $30! Impressions on it from the Internet seem favorable.
I shot a couple test pics. Center is sharp wide open. Problem is the 0.6m minimum focusing distance so you're not likely to get much bokeh at the wide end but it's a very nice look at 48mm. Zoom and focus rings are smooth but the aperture ring is quite clicky. Some vignetting at 24mm.
Can't wait to shoot a video with it. That is a sick lens flare. I want one of those anamorphic lenses to couple so I can go all JJ Abrams on everything.
