 Thank you for all the kind votes and comments.

It was actually quite funny trying to get Molly to go for the popcorn. I put her in the room alone with the popcorn and tethered the camera to a long release cable and watched from afar. She just layed down and slept. I gave her a piece of popcorn. She chewed it a bit, then lost interest. Finally, I played on her retrieving instincts (she is a labradoodle - part lab, part poodle) and threw a piece. She was all over that game.

If you look closely at the photo, you will notice a piece of popcorn at the tip of her right paw. She is oblivious to the bowl - she is chasing the piece I had just thrown.

I like the texture of the dog with the texture of the popcorn. And the tension factor.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/12/2007 05:31:05 AM
nice use of background, and dog looks sincerly interested, but relevance to popcorn is weak

You have got to love the K9 involvement. A very good shot. Your table cover has some lint issues on the right side that draw attention pretty quickly away from a very very nice shot. Great job.

Nice job. Good dog!

Love the textures of the popcorn and the dogs fur, I just find myself yearning for something more than all that dull black surrounding.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/10/2007 09:09:34 AM
too bad you can't see his eyes, but still a wonderful portrait! 10 for me! :)

So sweet. What a good doggy! lol if I did this set up with my dogs, my pic would have looked like a scene from JAWS with dog leaping and mouth wide open. Love the lighting and detail on the dog.

Blue all the way for me.

Fabulous shot. Great colours, great crop, lovely movement on the dog - especially his ears :- )

I need to come back post challenge and see what sort of Dog he is - he could even be a Wheatie.

Only tiny nitpick is that the popcorn is a little burnt out, but who cares ?

How very unkind of you! And the dog is posing so nicely, too. I think you should share.

Nicely done. The splash of red actually pulls me right to the popcorn.

Nice job on the dog's fur.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice photo. Black background really allows the dog, popcorn and bowl to truly show their color.

 11/09/2007 12:34:57 PM
Looks like it's just before the popcorn flew!

 11/07/2007 07:51:24 PM
ok.. points for keeping the dog from diving into the bowl (that's what mine would have done). Nice lighting!

haha very cute, but the popcorns like majorly bright. I think the lighting was kinda weird. But the bowls coloring adds a nice touch
