The Romantic

Scott,

What a sweet capture - even down to the unconditional love in his/her eyes!  Great job.

Winston the Cavalier Gentleman or maybe a new twist to You Dog You!  LOL.... A unique and well done photo, but the smile it brings is the important part... Excellent... Mike

LOL. This is just great. 

A really beautiful and original shot, Scott!

Very cute, would that be a Rose for his/her lover, wonderful image here and with very fine clarity and colors.

Thank you fir sharing it and wishing you all of the best my friend.

Excellent........I am sure everyone will fall in love...... Regards.

Oh, finally a 'Valentine' that truly captured my heart!!!  fantastic shot, your Winston is truly a 'Romantic'....tnks for the chuckle and smiles all round, Gail

Just love it! Perfectly captured and well composed, technically very well done! Congratulations Scott!

Very funny.  And the fire in the back is a nice touch.

I don't feel technically competent enough to criticize another's work.  However, from an artistic point of view, this image tugs at my heart.  I can't get my Lab to stand still long enough to get a half way decent picture of him, let alone a picture like this.  Knowing Labs...how long before he/she ate the flower?  Beautiful image.  Bill

Well conceived shot. Yes, it's cheesy, but somehow it also connects emotionally. Love his eyes.

Thanks everybody.  Bill, he was too concerned about the treats he was going to get as soon as I was done shooting off a few pics to eat with the rose.:)

What a cutie, really a great shot!

Brings a big smile on my face :)

My absolute favorite of the monthly project shots!! Great job, Scott. Goes into My Favorites folder. Best wishes to this lovely doggie too.

Cheers ~

Love it! great photo.  Mari

This really melts my heart!  Hope there aren't any thorns on that rose!  :-)  Actually, the rose takes a back seat to those amazing eyes!  I want a dog!!!!!!  Thanks for this rather sappy and sweet, extremely well done shot!

Fantastic this photo !!! a real winner....10/10

Perfect shot - love it!!  We have a yellow lab and they are the most lovable dogs, so this works on many levels.

I scanned the photos in this month's (well, February's) photo project and this one is my favorite. Your dog is so well trained, sitting there with a rose in his mouth! How did you achieve such great lighting? My living room is so dark, and capturing photos of my dogs without that awful red eye means either a high ISO, or a very slow shutter speed. Did you use extra light (umbrella flash, maybe?) What a beautiful photo!

Thanks.  I stretched my work light stand up to 6 feet and pointed both 500 watt lamps up to bounce the light off the ceiling.  Also had some decent indirect window light.

Thanks, Scott. 500 watt. I need to put more light in the room.

This photo is just too precious! Great capture and clarity; beautiful image and model! Thank you for sharing. :)
