A Picture of my Cousin's Dog

The main subject of this photo is my cousin's dog, Codie. I took this picture while waiting for her boyfriend to finish working on my breaks, for my car. I just remembered taking a really nice photo of Codie this summer, so good she made it her phone background and her cover photo on Facebook. So now I just take photos of him, trying to take more great photos. I like the angle of this photo, and the fact that we're looking at Codie from the same level that he is at. I feel like this photo is sort of dull when it comes to color, so maybe throwing on a great filter could be some improvement. 
To improve this photo all that I did was add a yellow filter, and when I felt that wasn't enough change to the color I also toyed with the saturation a little. My main goal was to just make Codie's colors stand out more. 

Yet Another Cat Photo

I feel like this photo should be impressive all because of the perfect timing it took to take this, thank god I spend most of my time with my animals taking pictures of them, because I'd never get photos tied like this without taking up all my time waiting for the opportunity. This photo focuses attention on my cat, Bear, and it does this by letting him take up the majority of the frame, there isn't much room for anything else in the picture. The main reason that this photo works because he is turned, halfway, facing the camera. This is yet another photo that is a over exposed and things other than the subject are brighter than they should be.
I improved this photo by making it less exposed, and I also made the reds redder. 

My Favorite Picture of my Cat

In this photo, the main subject is my cat, Angel. When I was taking this picture I was originally meant to be cleaning my car, but I noticed that he was hanging out, and begging for attention. I took this time as a perfect cat photo opportunity. I feel like this photo sort of leans on it side, making it look like the grass is a slope, and your eyes follow the slope down to my cat. With this photo I concentrated on the rule of thirds, making sure that he wasn't in the center of the picture. This photo could be improved with some better lighting. 
I chose to adjust this photo, I wanted it to look even better than it already had. I adjusted the coloring it photo so it looked more warm, and he looked less pale. Angel has some really pretty coloring and it was sort of held back by the brightness of the first photo. I also added a redder filter to the photo just because it made it look more like fall, and this photo was taken in the fall.
