 Crystal, my brown shadow.

I normally stay away from pet photographs but being a free study, who knows?

There are a couple of blurry elements that I am not too happy with in the foreground.

Nope, no way in the world I would have guessed this! She's gorgeous. Lovely portrait. You won the double in the commenting stakes too. Both Ed and Tom, congrats!

A solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. A top ten image and a very strong contender for a ribbon. Well done.

Wilbur looked around and sighed.

Once again he had been forced out of his warm bed in front of the fire at an ungodly time of morning.

Once again he had been made to go running through the grasses and marshes to please his crazy master.

Once again he had to sniff out the reeking stench of buckshot filled duck, so that said master could boast about his skills to his poker buddies.

And what did he get out of it? What did he get for his tireless and thankless work? What did he...

"Good boy Wilbur! Good boy, that's my good boy, who's a good doggie? Who's my boy?"

His master stroked his ears and rubbed his head and Wilbur instantly forgot all his lament and bounded off into the grasses.

Oh yes. He'd forgotten. That's what he got out of it.

He was a GOOD dog!

What a beauty, I love how the background is out of focus and even the grass in front, but he is sharp.
