Vintage Lenses
I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

Outside the tourist area photos.
These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Single Light Headshot
Client came and needed headshots immediately. Set up a single Broncolor Para 133 in the dining room. Delivered 20 pics. Setup, Shoot, Edit and delivered within 30 minutes.

First off: cute dog, great focus. It is a unique view of a dog and it really depends on what this picture would be for. If I delivered this to a client who wanted pictures of their dog, it wouldn't go over very well. On faces, eyes need to be (compositionally) the focus of the photograph. But if this was for a blog post or editorial on the number of abandon hounds during hunting season or on dental health of dogs then this is right on point. Partial collars are a pet peeve of me personally (JMO) and I would clone it out. I hope this helps. :)
I would try to avoid clipping the ear and top of the head. I agree with the collar comment also unless there is something special about it that adds to some aspect of the story then I would want to see all of it. I feel like the eye is just a hair soft on focus. I like that the dog looks bright, happy and healthy.
