I'm looking at this on my laptop and it looks fine. Not too vibrant, saturated, or black. The tones to the hair and face look more on the warm side.

Now the challenge is to get Maggie to take a photo of you rolling in the leaves.

Gordon ... this is amazing. It looks like something from a dream or a horror movie. Or ... considering my medical background ... from inside a body cavity and the bright light in the center is the light from the doctor's scope. It also looks like something I saw in an old Twilight Zone episode. Regardless of what I think it looks like, it certainly looks to be something other than a photograph. Now I need to stop looking at it. It has my imagination in overdrive and I'm afraid things will soon begin to short out.

That's some nice detail in the 100% crop. Depending on the size of the print it should look great framed and hanging on your wall. Overall, I really like the photo. Nice detail, beautiful dog, and a very natural outdoor setting.

I like this crop. Of course, that's just my preference. The green foliage in the previous version added nothing to the image. If you get a chance to re-shoot the image, I'd try for more sharpness. I love that face!

Lovely Autumn setting. My preference would be to have Laika a little larger in the frame and maybe(?) a little more off center. Perhaps you know that the first living Earth creature in space was a Russian dog named Laika in 1957.

Tim ... I really like what you're doing with this series. There's somewhat of a dreamlike quality to them. I haven't seen all 2455 of them yet ;-) but I do like the ones I've seen.

I really like this photo. It reminds me of a Western New York Autumn. Wonderful depth of field and colors.

I like the POV on this. Also, the dog's expression and those amazing eyes. I too would like to know if that's a blue or blind eye. A very good friend of mine had an Aussie with one brown and one blue eye. My assumption would be this is a blue eye.

Gordon ... another gorgeous "shroom" photo. The DOF you used effectively isolates the cap of the mushroom.

Now this one I really like! The lighting, the colors, the DOF, detail ... it all fits together beautifully. I feel like I'm a bug walking through the moss.

Willa, an aging, former champion sprinter on the Dutch Ladybug track team, opts for one last race.

Winifred, an elderly lady bug, decided to join a lonely hearts club. It wasn't what she expected. The memory fades into the distance.

 

Ellen, I love the way you use God's little creatures in your photos.

Interesting image. I'm not sure if it's a race against time, or he's trying to kill time. The blades on the wheels look lethal.

My two male Collies tell me that Sweetpea is looking hotter than ever. They said the pose is sexy and they particularly like the look of love in Sweetpea's eyes. Two paws up from Sergio and Cinder!

During my college days (when I was sober for approximately 3 hrs 24 minutes), I used to see this all the time. This is such an interesting image. As I look at it, I see it for what it is, left shoe and blurred leaves/grass, but I also see feathers. Most interesting of all is that I see the face of a man with a long, narrow beard and he's wearing a coon-skin cap. I'm sure the more I look, the more I'll discover. No 3's here. Very well done!

Just in time for Halloween! A very unique and haunting photo. The in focus cracked creosote leading to the dark of your beard(?), then to the blurred face gives this photo a wonderful three dimensional effect.

Matt ... I could see this as part of a calendar on GSP's. The pose is very striking and the natural setting works quite well even though the lighting isn't the most ideal.

"Igor! Bring me the potion!"

 

This must be the most patient dog on the planet. Sweetpea's expression is wonderful, and the lower canine tooth poking out over the upper lip is priceless and adds a lot to the feel of the photo. The detail is good and, for me, the background color is perfect.

Karen ... This is a very cute photo. My preference would be more DOF to, at least, have the front legs in focus, and no shadow under the chin. Keep snapping away at this little cutie.

Prison inmates number 547654 and 547665 planning their big break. I always wonder what's on a dog's mind when they do the things they do. I like that Darwin's nose and left eye are plainly visible. For me, the eye brings in a sight factor ... Darwin isn't just sniffing the air, but actually checking to see if he guard is still on duty. ;-) I also like the blue-gray color to the edges of the boards. I'm not sure yet how I feel about Crazy Maggie's out of focus nose, but I'd like to see it removed to compare the two.

 

 

This is kind of spooky in a way. For me, black cats have a certain mystique and you've done a wonderful job bringing that to the forefront.

When I used to live in the Buffalo area, on nice days like this we all went to the beach. I like the feel of this photo. It reminds me of the winter storms that used to roll in off of Lake Erie. I always loved the storms, it was the aftermath that I wasn't so fond of. My last winter in Western New York was the winter of '76/'77. We had the mother of all storms that winter. I got caught out when it began ... high winds, driving snow, air temp of 0 F and a wind chill of -64F. I've been in Southern California ever since.

What a unique and wonderful idea! This must have taken hours to complete. Very, very well done.

Vedran ... I love the mood you've created. This appeals to my dark side.
