dogs Golden Portrait

Any comments?

Why ruin this beautiful portrait by leaving the black collar on. In addition,it would have been beneficial to have the dog turn his head towards the camera so as to see clearly and distinctly both eyes. Also, good portraiture sometimes requires good makeup. A good brushing of the coat would have been nice here. Absolutely beautiful dog. kevin .

nice dog !!

 

I think you need to get to eye level with your dog; the angle is a little too high still. A little more light is need to allow us to see the eyes !! If you could get a angle that allows u to see both eyes and light it so that the eyese are clear and visible to the extent you can see the eyes and it glows with inner light you would have a really super shot. Not the esaiest of subjects - pets and kids.

I like the gaussian blur. I've played with it as well to try to blur out the background, but it always leave a halo around the subject. Anyone know who to get rid of this?

Much better!
