Dog sleeping in snow #9

comments welcome

What an enjoyable shot. Love it, it's great.

Good Composition! i love dogs!

Nice work Tim, I love the subtle colors of the sky and fur. Maybe consider cropping on left to trees? Regards,

Jim

I have to agree with what the others have written. I am also a dog lover and really enjoy looking at these kinds of photos also! I have a black lab and when he sees me with the camera he likes to hide his face in the pillows.

Great Top Shot ! The Lighting is Perfect, colors and Composition too. Congratulations.

Best regards.

Omar.

excellent photo Tim, nice to see your dog again.

He must be cold, but he's so adorable. Beautiful dog, beautiful background!

Very good one,regards,Radu.

Thanks for sharing this irrisitible image.

Ooooo cold! He looks happy enough though! Love the trees in the background! An erie atmosphere!

What a beautiful image. Great composition. At first glance, I thought you had managed to get this clsoe to a polar bear!

So beautiful image!

Ilike it a lot.

Excelente imagen, perfecta luz, color y belleza, gran encuadre y magnifica composicion, saludos cordiales Tim.

The soft colors cohere and work well with the content. There is a wonderful sense of serenity to the photograph. I wonder if perhaps there is just a bit much space on the left side, but that ultimately must be your decision.

Forget about colors, composition, all that stuff. This reminds be of my old dog Hooch who for 14 years and 8 months was my near-constant companion. Thank God I took tons of photos of him, it's all I have now that he's gone. Thanks for reminding me it's time to go back and look at those pictures again.

Without your friend in the foreground, this has the makings of a great shot. Great light and contrast, definition of the trees. With such a lovely model, its priceless :)

Composition could be slightly better, if you had more space on the right and less on the left. Alternative;y, if the dog were facing left.

 

Selection of the dog and cutout of the dog from original was done well (and it takes a close look to notice this), except for a few fuzzy places. It fits OK into the seen, even though it does lead to unnatural perspective for the trees in the background.

Thanks for all the great comments, I appreciate them!

Mario, I have just awarded you my "Rocket Scientist of the Year" award for your uneducated and inaccurate comment! You will recieve one free pair of Walgreens reading glasses and one magnifying glass. I have never combined two images together for many reasons, the most glaring one is that I don't know how to do it. I use Elements 2.0 and do very little post processing on my photos. Look at the 400 or so images I have posted here on PN and you will hopefully notice that they are pretty simple and basic photos with none of the very popular PS things done to them. If you or any one else thinks this is a composite, let me know and I will email you the original image and you can see for yourself what a simple work method I use. As for your composition pointers, I have no problem with that at all, everyone sees things differently in that regard.

I have seen a version before Tim, and you shared your love for the pet. sure the composition can be a little different in relationship to the trees - but that is not the important thing her - the capture of an old friend IS. regards. Neal

I remember this one, too - one of my all-time favorites!

The photographs of your dogs clearly show how much you love them. This one is the best that I've seen!

I find myself returning to look at this photograph. It has a strong pull. Upon further reflection I don't think I would change a thing.

I love your dog pictures -- they tend to have a sort of melancholy to them, which is unusual and moving in pet pictures.
