[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is Cooper sitting on the couch lit by the morning sun. I'm not quite sure of the exposure because the N-80 doesn't save any data and I never remember to write it down, but I think this is pretty close to what it was.

PP: Scanned with Minolta Dimage 5400, cropped, cloned out some dust, sharpened and resized for TL.

I think the light is beautiful, even though the high contrast obscures Cooper's left eye almost entirely, Dennis. I love his pose, a pity you didn't get the front part of his paws.
Anyway, TFS.

Hello Dennis !
Lovely B&W portrait. I added it in my theme - Favorite pets.
Superb light and POV.
Enjoy the big race in Daytona on Sunday!

Hi Dennis,

Cute Beagle, excellent capture.
Your composition would be stronger with the front paws in view.

Hello Dennis,

This is a beautiful portrait of Cooper and very well done in B&W. I really like the side lighting... very dramatic and able to have light catches in his left eye is great! Nicely done Dennis.

Love and Peace always
Kevin

This is very nice lighting , which are subject is very serious -no smiling .
Jim

I like this alot. Bill

I like how his left eye, though shadowed, still has catchlights showing. This is a nice high-contrast shot with a pleasing subject. I want to bury my face in that fur and enjoy that puppy smell. :)
