Matt Laur 2,201 Posted January 25, 2008 A six-month-old Gordon Setter was watching me shoot the ribbon presentations at a hunt test. He was intent on figuring me out. Thanks for looking. Link to comment
john pearson 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Matt. The face looks almost human. Looks like he's thinking " What the hel.." very funny. Nice DOF, good lighting, nice shot. I have a Gordon/pointer mix, great dogs. John P. Link to comment
Not Here 93 Posted January 25, 2008 LOL... love it! Great personality in this pup. Mike Link to comment
cycler48 8 Posted January 25, 2008 Aside from the adorable facial expression, I love the background on this and the placement of the dog in the frame. I do find he bright object in the lower left to be a little distracting though. Beautiful dog portrait. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted January 26, 2008 He said: " look at me how sweet I'm" ....I'm looking pup, and you are a very good model. I like the BG Matt, and his expression IS adorable. (and I think as well that the yellow is a bit distracting ). Link to comment
Matt Laur 2,201 Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks all. Indeed, it's impossible to resist a curious young bird dog. I suppose this is one of those occasions where I might have been well served by cloning out that bit of annoyance in the background. If I'd shot at f/2.8, it might have been better obscured, but this was too on-the-fly for that! Link to comment
timkeller 0 Posted January 26, 2008 What a beautiful portrait! The bokeh is gorgeous, the framing very successful. Beautiful model, too. Link to comment
rarmstrong 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Matt, Very nice shot...great expression! Well composed, I struggle with how much to crop out and what to leave in...I still think your photo works well. regards, Dick Link to comment
jim_interlicchio1 0 Posted January 30, 2008 love the expression in the eyes and mouth, combined with the tilt of the head. Link to comment
