This was an extreme closeup of two dogs playing. I discovered it when I transferred the image to Topaz DeNoice which has a 100% closeup. I thought the little guy was very tenacious (and cute). C&C welcome

I would definitely bring him to the pub for a drink. Like this one a lot.

This is outstanding!!! I just love his face and expression. Perfect timing with one ear up and wild looking eyes. You made me smile with this image. Fantastic!

Hi Ole,

Long time, no post exchange (my fault, I've not been here much, sorry).

Great expression captured there.

As this is quite a severe crop from the original image, it looks like your processing may have unintentionally enhanced some background lens artefacts in the out of focus grass.

Although I cannot see the original shot before the apparent (assumed from filename) triple edit sessions, having previously dealt with similar issues myself, I believe there may, depending upon your image editing software and skill using it, have been a way to minimise, the granular/globular effects. In overview, it would start with masking the subject from the background, then post processing those separately - blurring the background grasses further and only applying the sharpening to the subject itself.

By the way, the thread title is excellent.

Hope you're keeping well,
Dave

Great capture, revealing character of the subject.
