[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just after the GreenBaron, Roy and I got off the bus at Corfe Castle, we passed a lady walking four beautiful Westies (West Highland terriers) in the grounds of the Church of St. Edward. I couldn’t resist taking a few quick shots of their eager faces, ever curious about everything and everybody.

Tech: Captured in raw at high speed to allow for dogs' quick movements, adjusted levels and colour saturation in raw, converted to jpg, adjusted highlights and shadows to make up for the strong mid-day light, resized, sharpened edges only, framed and signed

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend

Each with his own unqiue expression and character.
Excellent light, I like the shadows on their little bodies.
Great shot.

Hi Silke,

What a terrific shot of the Westies! They are adorable. The lighting on their fur, their different expressions, and the leashes all combine to make one terrific composition.

I would have stopped and asked to take photos too. How could one resist?

thanks for sharing, Lisa (a dog lover)

Hi Silke,
Like the close up here. The pose of the doggies is priceless. I won't post my picture of these white terriers :-)
Great ptesentation in the black frame!~

I just love Westies Silke but at around $700 per pup here a wee bit out of my price range. An excellent POV, with good colour and lovely detail in the fur. TFS,

Hi Silke
I was going to mentions the three dogs, then I counted four leases and then I found parts of the fourth dog, soooooo I'll comment how the composition of the four dogs. perfect lighting/contrast. The one on the far right has an interesting ecpression. Minor suggestion - crop out the bluse sky. Just a personal thing.

Bravo

Four of them! What a handful. . . And I see they all have different tartan straps too.
Well captured Silke. They looks cute bundle
Janice

Hello Silke,

They are really cute!
But for a guy that is grown up with German Shephards those furballs never can be real dogs, hehehe...
Clever with point of view on their level, and the details are well captured!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Hello,
I love so cute shot, it's irresistible.
My favorite is the one to the right with his medal-shaped bone that seems to look at the goal. They have full of life and facetious.
Colors and focus perfect, and superb, leashs that form multicolored diagonal.
Good black frame to

Our friends in South Africa had also two of this doggies.
Very adoreble picture.
Meri

Super, beatiful post and your angle post is perfect for the little dogs, Bravo Réal.

Hello Dear Silke
A Picture Perfect Capture of these beautiful canines.
The subjects really stand out due to the excellent DOF.
I can see four leashes but it is a pitty that the fourth doggie is hidden. :-(

They are so cute. Did You Also pat their heads?? I bet you did. It is difficult to resist patting such lovely doggies.

Great Shot All the Way.
TFS

Hi Silke, cute little westies! They look like they are ready to run.
Very nice close-up, sharp and good dof.
An suggestion would be to crop the sky above the wall in the bg.
Take care, Yan :)

Hiya Silke

Oh these are just too cute, full of character and I see you got right down on their level too. Wonderful shot with superb light control too

TFS regards Helen
