Alternate title: Frantic Bedtime Search for the Lost Puppy.
I had two ideas for this challenge but because of other work - I only had time to do one.
So I choose this idea. As parents I know that a great many of us have experienced this same exact situation! That bedtime rush to find that lost favorite stuffed animal - and all the while it JUST has to be the most obvious place. The last place a child thinks to look until the parent comes along:-)
Why choose a puppy as the stuffed animal when I could have used a teddy bear? The teddy bear I feel would be too on the nose and the 'lost puppy' idea plays into the idea of searching for a lost pet. Both are frantic in nature.
I might get a lot of complaints about the blur on the legs but that is very intentional for the motion conveys a sense of urgency. Or I might not only time will tell.
Things I wish I did/could do:
-Edit out that sunspot near the foot for it is annoying.
-Wish the front leg was a little more back so as to not be so close to the puppy
-Wish that I had thought to shot the legs already past the puppy to show that the child has passed by and *missed* it.
-Wish that the bed frame did not show through the blurred left leg so much.
-Wish there was more catchlight gleam in the puppy's eyes. Only used a small flashlight when I should have used a larger one.
Hmmm- I think that will just about cover most of the critical comments I will get with this one.
