Puppy Dog Eye(s)


This is an extreme close-up of one of the neighbor dogs, Abby.  She is a Great Dane mix and barks incessantly.  She is also the neighborhood escape artist - we walk her back home frequently when she jumps the fence and/or pulls her lead out of the ground.

I stepped outside tonight to see what I could see of the completely full moon.  Too darn cold to bother with a lengthy set-up involving the tripod.  But the dogs were out! It was hard to get a decent shot with them running around barking in the near-dark.  Fun with cropping ensued and this is the (desaturated) result.

Be sure to check out Monochrome Weekend for black and white photos much better than mine.

    PS A Tip - don't let the picture in the post be larger than the one you uploaded. The one you see now is slightly unsharp, while the one you get when you click is very sharp.

  3. Yes, Abby is a big goofy dog that just barks constantly. She wouldn't hurt a flea.

    Thanks RuneE - hadn't realized I'd clicked the embiggen button when I posted it - I think I've fixed it now.

  6. She looks like a very knowing dog, and the crop gives a nice feel.
