thanks a lot for all your kind comments, yes,our 12-old beagle is unbearably cute and mo-o-o-o-ost photogenic... now i have to decide what to do for the current "pets and their people" challenge, we have three dawgs, you see... when i asked my husband if he has any special ideas, he said : i wonder where we can get some people...
Returning for comments:
Real cute but the color shift distracts a bit. However, the comp and subject's expression are beyond question with that claw draped by the ears. This guy is just a jewel. Bumping up.
Nice, cute picture. But I'm thinking this might have been a better picture without the toy. Is the yellow toy the subject, or the dog? The toy, even though it's yellow, and that's what the challenge is, is a distraction for me. It doesn't lead to the impact, which is the dog.
I am a sucker for dog shots. This is an absolutely useless comment, but cute dog. He looks completely bored. I like the buttery yellow. Most shots are so bright that my retinas are burning. I don't like the hedgehog toy. It distracts from your subject. 6
Cute dog. Definitely yellow but lighting seems a little bland. Maybe cropping in more on the subjects face would have eliminated some of the backround distraction and added interest.
Sorry but the impact of this photo is the dog, not the yellow. Now that is a tremendously cute dog, but the image as a whole has a bit of a snapshot feel to it, next time I'd try and get a little closer to the dog. I'm not a huge fan of animal shots, but you've definately got yourself a good subject here if you are that way inclined.
