I find it hard to take pics too, usually when i want to photograph something, they don't want me too. Also, I know that pics at night don't work very well. So what I do is wait after they have had their lunch with plenty of veggies and then they always take a nap and let me take pics. Tht's why most of my pics are of my bunnies laying down or sleeping.
Also, you can do some work on your pics using a photo software. I use GIMP, its free and you can download it from internet.
For example, taking your pic (I like the soft colors) but you could sharpen it a bit so it doesn't look blurry (In GIMP: Filters -- Enhance -- Unsharp Mask). Or you can saturate the colors so they make more contrast (Tools -- Collor Tools -- Hue- Saturation). You can also add a border (Script Fu -- Decor -- Add border).
You can do many many other things too to play with your pic. (I hope you don't mind I used your pic, I wanted to show you what you can do)
No you can use whatever pic I dont mind . Thanks for the advise, I see what you meen it really does make a difference to the photo. Do you have a link for the software you use? Ive searched for it on google but I can't find anything, thanks x
