Nothing fancy, just a simple picture of my favourite model...

The difficulty in shots like this is that you need a few moments of tranquility. How? Play first, shoot later ;o)

Tech talk

Straightened, a bit of croppity-crop.

Levels, as usual.

Downsized in a couple of steps (lots of hairs, so beware of jaggies!), sharpened after the final step.

Added a small frame.

A penny for his thoughts:) Love the dreamy quality in his gaze, and the excellent close up composition. Well done.

wat mij opvalt is de ligging van
al die haartjes..fijn beeld!

Hi Frank,

Je kan bijna zien dat je hem hebt afgepeigerd, wat die hond allemaal moet doorstaan als fotomodel --- hij kijkt echt een beetje zielig over de rand met het landschap weersliegeld in zijn oog - van mij krijgt hij een aai en een kriebel achter zijn oren.

Fijne close up. Het is knap om te zien hoe het ene oog in focus is en het andere niet. Fijne weergave van je hond.

Hello Frank

Lovely captures of Dingo,
him she can to say that is our great companion of TL.
Dingo i always very photogenic and you have done some great shots. This is one of the best, amazing detail, sharpness and great composition. Needless to say that the expression is fantastic.
I adore dogs and this is very beautiful, for his load, his candy and sweet to look and a lot of companion.
Congratulations Frank!

Hoi Frank,
Om maar met de deur in huis te vallen, ik ben niet helemaal gelukkig met deze close up. Zou verwachten dat beide ogen scerp waren, en dat zijn ze niet. Dat vind ik wat teleurstellend in deze foto. Zou zelf voor een grotere f-stop hebben gekozen f/11 of hoger. Het idee is fantastisch overigens, de compacte uitsnijding is perfect, zo ook het licht en het contrast, maar je de scherptediepte he. Toch een fijne plaat van Dingo.

Hey Dingo, I've ignored you lately - I'm sorry old fellow.
Not so old - no grey hairs - maybe dad's got the grey hairs now - that is, if he's got any hair left!!!
Lovely shot of your friend, Frank.
Janice
