Theme 259 - Doubtful

"Not sure about this Dad"

Look at the slight tilt of Roo's head, she still isn't convinced.

All of these images are so good, wow! The 2nd one of Roo is really striking composition-wise but I'm not entirely sure why. His relationship to the water is certainly the subject in the water, you've defintely defined that - perhaps its the angle that makes this image? Absolutely love this one.

I also really like these 2 with the dogs, again, the one with Roo works for me. I uploaded these last night and as soon as I saw it on the screen, I realised it was a good one. I think it is because everything is right - the light, exposure, composition (with the water framing the shot) and Roo, stood in exactly the right place - only a slight crop to "fill the frame". The other thing that works is the colour combination - opposite spectrums. All serendipity but useful for future reference.

Thanks Pat for your observations and kind comments.

Oh, wow, I love these too! Pat is right, the composition in the second shot is super. But, the first one is excellent too. It tells a story without even adding the words. These dogs are clearly not too enthusiastic!

This is funny because I've just had 3 days at the cottage watching my comparatively little Hamish relate to the comparatively little beach on our lake. I will try to post a photo at some point of how he reacts to the waves...
