Description

I met Jess at the beach yesterday.. she is a very sweet spinone.. her pale wispy fur blended with the sand so decided to enhance it using the frac filter (crayon wide) erasing back her eyes and tongue

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/800 seconds, Flash: did not fire, auto mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 32.00 mm, Model: E-400

Awesome photo, Susie! I love the composition and great light...and wonderful use of the filter (which I need to check out!). It's funny as what drew me to this is "Jess" is what we call our daughter, although she doesn't quite look like this! :) #867492

G'day, Susie - how is everything going with you?!! This is a FABULOUS capture of Jess, and your filter/editing work has REALLY enhanced this image!! She really DOES look to be a VERY sweet dog!! :o) #5580471

Many thanks Terri, Dominick, R&A, and Carolyn.. she was a sweetie. I read that there is no record of a spinone ever having bitten anyone ~ Jess was certainly a softie :)
cheers, susie #5580479

I think you've done it, Susie. This is a wonderful portrait of an unusual looking dog and the sandy beach background really worked for you. I'm not a Fractalius fan but your use of it here is so subtle I would not have known you had applied it except for your explanation. I love the natural tones and the glow the filter gives them. #5581197
