In the coffee house

Same coffee house whose owner I photographed a couple of days ago. We went there again because the atmosphere there is full of aroma and even the colours are those of coffee. I was impressed by this girl with her little brown dog in front of a small Christmas tree. Unfortunately no catch light in the eyes of the dog!

gorgeous colouring here - definitely a coffee theme! It is a great composition and I love the bokeh. The eyes of the dog would have been a great finishing touch but I really like this as it is.

A lovely shot with nice bokeh. I agree with @helenhall that seeing the dogs eyes would have really enhanced the image. But it is a warm image and still lovely :)

@helenhall @paul10 Too much hair, the little dog! And using PS (which I don't have and don't know how to use) would have been unfair, I believe

Hi Caterina, I think this is a very cute picture. And I like the tones, the treatment, the warm colours and of course that gorgeous bokeh. Though I agree, that some light in the eyes of the dog would enhance the pic. IMHO, its not unfair to enhance it a bit. It can probably be done in "our" post processing programm. If you would like to send me the original picture, I can give it a try and "record" "how" I have achieved it.

Thank you Mona! I will send it by mail.Fantastic!

Lovely. I thought it was a fur collar for a while! Beautiful bokeh too.

Her eyes are amazing -- as is the composition overall. I agree re the catch-light, but still a wonderful shot, complete with the bokeh setting it all off.

The coffee tones,the golden bokeh and the shaggy textures make a stunning image.

@jamibann That's because the lack of light in the eyes! @taffy @robz Thank you all. But it will improve!

The potency of the woman’s eyes even slightly blurry makes the lack of catchlight even more noticeable. I hope you will post with Mona’s suggestions. Bokeh is great as is composition
