Never one to be left out our male Schnitzel (mini Schnauzer), Yoda (foreground), had to get in on the action and give his cousin a hug!

Relevant info-

This was Granny’s (wifey-poo’s) fave because it has her granddaughter and her puppies in it!

Really Relevant info-

If I know what’s good for me I had better make sure Granny (wifey-poo) gets this shot, and in the crop aspect she wants, and she likes it in color, and gets a print.

All that needed to be said was “yes dear”!

Thought I better put it up here to see what I screwed up before it goes to print because for once, I know what’s good for me!

Nicely done. I can see some highlights from the blanket on the floor, don't know if that concerns you or not.

[Mike Buckley]

Wonderful photo! I can understand why your wife likes it so much. Unlike the other one in black-and-white, the detail in the floor shows up very nicely here.

Terry...no nits in this shot for me...your granddaughter really have a good relationship with the doggies here. Schnitzel, my foot! It sounds like fried chops... Good shot. Very beautiful girl...

[Loose Canon]

Thank you so much Izz!

Cool thing about frying chops is that everyone gets a drumstick!

Very beautiful.

Very nice and attractive lighting.

A shop on the coast here sells a variety of sailing caps some with Captain, First Mate, Sailor, Crew etc across the front but the one I like the most has "Yes dear" on it. I thought it was specifically for me but it may suit you as well....

Terry, I think you should stick with color on these portraits!

[Loose Canon]

Thanks guys!

L.Paul I think I'll just stencil "Yes Dear" on my forehead! Should save me a lot of time!

Terry, I think you should stick with color on these portraits!

Daniel do my conversions suck that bad?

Daniel do my conversions suck that bad?

You know that is not what I meant, Terry! I think your conversions are really well-done!

What I meant is that I really like the color version a lot more. Oftentimes we convert an image to B&W because the image has distracting elements such as conflicting colors which draw our attention away from the subject. However, I certainly do not see that happening with this image. The color work very well here and give is a bit more depth.

Excellent image and beautifully captured.

[Loose Canon]

Thank you Marie.

Well if they suck they suck Daniel! I figured I better at least ask! And if so I’d rather hear it from a Friend (hopefully) than someone else!

A good point about the reasoning behind converting. I guess many of us may be guilty of that at one time or another.

The girls wanted the conversions and I’m a huge fan of B&W portraiture myself. With my conversions I always process to finish the color version before converting and go from there. This pretty much regardless of what it is.

I appreciate your comments Daniel. It is my thinking that in order for me to have a successful conversion (especially for portraiture) I first need to have a successful color shot.

It helps to have another eye having a look Daniel.
