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...
One evening in August 2006, I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Elements, loved it and for the next 3 months, was totally absorbed learning how to use such fun software . I quickly realised that whilst editing can do a lot for not so good photos (polite term for "crap")it was actually better to be creative with good images - and so my love of photography was re-ignited.
This Blog is part of my creative journey. I have a lot to learn but the motivation of getting out there to tick off the themes gives me good practice.
Please look through and feel free to comment, which I welcome and appreciate.
Thanks for stopping by.
