[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This young fellow here is Roari, the Whippet pup of my friend Lynda. When he was very young he was given this Teddy as a comforter, and it continues to be so to this day. Now, there are times his sister (same age) wants Teddy and a struggle ensues. I have seen Lynda on occasions have to haul out the curved tapestry needle to mend and repair Teddy. So far, Teddy has persisted and is coping with the occasional tug of war.
PP work.
Now, this is one of my 'challenges' that I wanted to persist with, as I really liked the image. The couch is up against a big picture window and as a result, the image is suffering from OE from all the light. I asked Peter (peterhanington ) for advice and it was decided to convert this to sepia in order to somewhat mitigate the OE. Many thanks Peter, for the tutorials. As they say in Ireland, 'you are a star'.

Nice and funny, I like the vintage look...

Hi Joni,
Cuteness factor is sky high here. Who would say Roari is not adorable? I like the tight framing. Exposure and sharpness ought to be commended. Have a good Sunday. Danilo

Hello Joni,
Fantastic photo; the POV and the composition is great, the sepia work is very well done; and the mood of the photo is superb. Congrats, mb

Hi Joni,

Teddy is still smiling, so I suppose he will survive another day in the presence of Rori and his sister.

A very peaceful moment, with a strange effect from those wide open Teddy-eyes.

Looks great.

TFS

hello Joni,
this has the hah! factor. Of course I am prejudiced as we have a whippet pup. The sepia treatment is good choice. It works with the old battered teddy feel.I like your composition with the whippet taking up one third of the frame. the close up works well too.
