problème technique

thank you very much, they are always difficult to detach themselves from the sentimental value of a photograph and take the necessary step back. you are right your comments help me a lot.

Hi @Nikko Pictures , you are correct that lighting / exposure is the main technical issue here.  The shadows need to be lifted and unfortunately there are some blown out highlights, especially noticeable in the dog's paws.

You can also see chromatic aberration (purple fringing) along the top of the paw.

Another consideration is the composition.  It would have been better to get a bit more space above the dog's ears.

I understand your comment about not having ideal lighting situations when taking the photograph.  Unfortunately in stock photography all the matters is the end result regardless of how hard we have to work to get it.

I hope this helps.  Best of luck in your future submissions.

The focus is not sharp, there are blownout highlights (on the top of the paws), and the shadows are underexposed. Composition could have been improved by backing up or zooming out to get more of the subject in the frame.
