The Telltale Ear by taffy

The Telltale Ear

Terry, our downstairs neighbor's dog, had a bath today and was totally photogenic if only he'd let me photograph him. I'm slowly wearing him down to get used to me and my camera. This afternoon, he let me sit on the front steps and pet him, and tolerated the camera for a few shots. I love how his ear is so expressive. Processed in Silver Efex using high key, tried to bring out the texture of his ear and the soft strips of the fence and fence shadows. To me, it sort of looks like he's looking out of a prison cell.

Lovely shot! I am sure your patience will be rewarded one day and he will allow you to do a portrait! These little dogs know their own mind!

Ears are so important for the expressions! Not in humans though!

I love this shot and the processing you have done...very soft and gentle...beautiful detail of the hair and ear, and subject perfectly positioned in the frame.

The raised ear is so cute... I hope you become friends and the dog is the subject of some of your photos... I love dogs!

Lovely subject and processing. Perhaps he'll show his face to you someday.

They can be so camera averse - still makes a great shot

@pamknowler I think he's getting closer -- he did let me take a bunch of closeups at last, but I ended up liking the one that captured how he usually walks away from me. You're right about him knowing his own mind.
