Now THAT is a beautiful portrait. What a cute expression, one can see the thought process described in the title.
How did you get your pup to sit like that, so still?![]()
Gorgeous spaniel; appealing expression.
Great shot Peter - I love the expression and the way that the ball is being guarded. The caption says it all!
A few thoughts:
1. I wonder if opening up the shadows beneath the ears and snout as well as the belly areas might not be worth considering. The dark areas draw too much attention, I think.
2. I'm not sure if the tree on the left is adding to the image, so removing it would be worth considering.
3. Is the grass really that saturated?
4. I might think about painting a couple of catch lights into the eyes.
Thanks Manfred, you have given me lots to think about. Liking the catchlights.
Great capture of your beautiful dog...
I like to use a fill flash when photographing a dog. Using a small flash like the TT350S (for my Sony cameras) will not produce a lot of light. I mainly use the flash, either in manual at a very low power or in TTL with a couple of stops minus flash EV, to achieve catchlights in dogs eyes.
I need to be careful about adding flash to images of my Goldendoodle because her coat will easily blow out if too high a power of flash is used.
Catchlights either as shot or achieved through PP later, make the eyes a lot more lively...
