Even though you did use a bad selective color shot for no good reason (dog with bow) and you could use some work on lighting techniques, you’re not a fauxtographer. You have a pretty good eye, but need some study of the basics so that your camera and lighting do what you want them to do.
Thanks for the feedback. The shots that are under exposed was kinda hard for me that day. It was really overcast but still extremely bright out. I’ll see what i can do to correct those if possible and repost before and afters. And the one in hong kong (the last link) was with a “fisheye” adapter i bought when we pulled into port. I also found a website describing those techniques (split/loop lighting) here’s the link for anyone else out there with the same “problem” http://digital-photography-school.com/6-portrait-lighting-patterns-every-photographer-should-know
