This breeder of German Shorthaired Pointers has brought a pup to a

field event for some socializing and exposure to the world. Thanks

for looking, and for comments.

Thanks, Michael. People frequently confuse the bird dog folks with being gruff bumpkins or cruel with the critters. Your reaction to this shot is the right and honest one, and I'm so glad you stumbled across it. Thanks for looking at it, and for seeing it.

...how much I love this photograph. I also realized I'd never left a comment on it, which is my omission. There is so much that is right about this, but mostly it speaks to a relationship between man and hound that is longstanding, affectionate, and unique among all earth's species. The color palette is just perfect, too...did you have to monkey with it or no? My Nikon gives me Mardi Gras, when sometimes I am looking for the hangover...

 

Cheers,

That's very kind of you, Jay. I love your Mardi Gras notion! I tend to shoot RAW, and then make my own decisions about how vivid the JPG output should be... and in this case, I believe I did deliberately desaturate just a bit - the shot was all about the bond and intimacy between the owner and his pup. I did want that blaze orange training whistle to be noticeably "field" looking, though, so I preserved enough color to keep that feeling real - after all, that's what that pup will be doing for the next decade!

 

I really appreciate your thoughtful comments, Jay. Obviously, you have dogs!
