This is my first entry @ dpc & I had no time to take pics, so I did a quick shoot in the back yard with the new (stray) dog.
Could not help laughing when I saw how this one turned out, so I thought it might be OK to submit... We shall see--I'm on a steep learning curve.
Negatives: 1) too much contrast, 2) clipped whites 3) oversharpened the grass.
developed with +10 sharpen (lens is way too soft @ 300mm)
PS elements:
Crop
Clone out some annoying bits
multiple inverted levels layers selectively applied
Sharpen grass under dog a little
convert to B&W (all channels)
save in photoshop
resize in Irfanview (lanczos with sharpen)
save in Irfanview

I think your title gets it wrong. The dog is not shy in this photo, not personified except to the extent that he hulks toward humanity. a photo I have trouble turning away from. 10
