Lovely captures of fine subjects!
I like them all but the copyright notices are extremely distracting.

A couple weeks ago I set up an impromptu outdoor "studio" to do fine art dog portraits. These are the results.

nice pictures but
the background doesnt look quite right to me
i see the background especially in the two shepherds rather being drawn to the foreground
My crew approves, Dave! (the copyright is distracting)
How fun! Did you use volunteers as your subjects or are these your dogs? Did you use natural light or set up and outdoor studio?
Beautiful images, djb663!
You bonded well with your "sitters" in these epic renderings djb663
I'm absolutely certain your clients appreciate your efforts!
Albeit as others have tactfully pointed out the dominance of your Copyright Protection overpowers you beautiful creativity. Please be aware that adding © 2022 plus you business entity name is not going to yield the results you may think! While I'm not licensed to practice law in Massachusetts I have received legal guidance on the the acceptable way to attempt to win a case in a civil court. That being you MUST register your images (each one) with the U.S. Copyright Office. Lacking this it is doubtful you'll be successful (even with the best civil lawyers i.e. attorneys in your jurisdiction).
While I certainly can't create a client attorney relationship with you I can as member of UHH provide direction on where to find the appropriate methodologies on how to belay your concerns.
Please carefully review this document, it explains in rather straightforward terms how best to proceed.
https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ42.pdfEven with this action there is no guarantee that a civil court may decide in your favor. Please seek license qualified legal guidance on the aforementioned. This is a complex issue and varies by jurisdictions.
Best Advice? If all you wish to accomplish is to have your name/credentials associated with your imagery I strongly recommend fixing your web site (the current URL comes back as invalid) and place that URL discretely at the lower right portion of your images. This is a protocol that is widely embraced by those who work in the upper echelons of commercial photography.
Hope this helps... Wishing you much success moving forward in 2022!
You have a strong and consistent visual statement, please keep up the good work!
Cheers! Thomas
