Skye dawg

Never work with kids and animals they say... I must be a sucker for punishment. Out of about 50 attempts, this was the only one I managed to get!

Thanks for looking!

Did the dog like it?

Who knows.

The dog might not but I do. If that was my dog I'd quite happily have that on my wall. Well done

I like that. The processing suits his/her coat nicely.

My only niggle is the back foot. It seems to be slightly too subdued ?

PS

1 in 50 is pretty good - you should try my Springer Spaniel

Dawg beautifully captured- evidently happy with her lot. Nice setting & processing too.

Lovely work. I'd like to see a tail but having tried and failed to photograph cats I appreciate just how hard pet photography is. I think the whole dog is a bit too subdued and would also like the shadow side of its face lightened, but that's just down to taste and the processing really suits the subject. Have you posted (or pointed us to) a tutorial on how you do this by any chance?

Very nice, having three dogs I know how hard it can be to get a decent portrait.

Looks more of a sketch than a hi-res image but good composition & lighting non the less.

Like this shot. What background are you using?

Agreed, could do with lifting some shadows a tad. Sometimes it takes someone else to point that out.
Sorry, no tutorial yet But planning on doing a textures and processing one at some point...

That's probably down to the texture(s) and processing. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Robert. It's a grey seamless paper background.

Cheers Phil. I agree - could do with lifting it up a bit, I think it got lost in the processing. Thanks for the feedback!

I'd love to see the new version when you get round to it
