Relaxing Sunday

A grand portrait of a truely gentle beast....Kim, I love your work, and this has your earmarks, DOF, crop, colour and interest....classic !*R*

Thanks, Roger - I have so many doggie pictures, but can't resist taking more.

i like it! not your typical pet shot could use a diffent title though, and a border or somthing, maybe enhance the color even a lil more on PS. good work

It has a border, Christian, albeit a very thin one, which I prefer so as not to be distracting. As for color, I took color AWAY from the background and Tess's color is pretty much the way she looks. The title was given because I took the shot today, Sunday, and Tess was just hanging around doing nothing much, same as me. Thanks for stopping and commenting.

You can never take too many dog pictures....:) And this one is a dandy! Good dof! Lovely canine!

Kim, you've stirred fond memories of my yellow Lab called Tess - now long gone to the great doggy heaven. She used to get that look and made me wonder what she was thinking. It's a beautiful and sensitive capture; the catchlight in her eye and the glint of her nose are perfect touches. It's certainly one of the best canine portraits I've seen on PN.

Thanks, Chris and Hanna. Tess is a lab/retriever cross and we have her brother, as well, although he's more like a yellow lab. Both are great dogs now that they are older (don't let anyone tell you labs are mellow!).

Another great one Kim.!!

Regards, Elizabeth

Thanks, Elizabeth!

Changed background to b&w to focus more attention on the dog's face.
