Painted Lab

Shooting Date/Time 2/28/2007

Focal Length 300.0 mm

David Pratt

Hey Dave! I like the composition, colors and the painted look. Maizey may not like it much, but I would clone out the tail. I find it draws my eye away from her face. Was this done in Corel Painter?

Thank you everyone. I took your advice and cropped out the tail. I think it is a much better image after looking at it for a while.

I adore Labs, and this one is no exception. Great dark room work, Dave! I wouldn't worry too much about the tail, if it isn't wagging, it's not a labrador! LOL!!

Wonderful capture of pup, Dave!

The impressionist FX and the perspective view of the dog add up to a well composed and pleasing image!
