Ruby Again - 50mm Lens Again

I'm still experimenting with my new Canon 50mm lens ( 80mm on my 450D)

Ruby our little whippet again I'm afraid to say.... but hey the lens does take fantastic images.

Love the bokeh background (pity about the white sky).

I know I'm biased and a proud owner, but she is a beautiful little lady :). How can you say 'no' to those eyes !

[Juliette Packham]

How can you say no to those ears? Great shot of your lovely little lady!!

[Steve Hollingsworth]

Nothing wrong with shooting your dog (pardon the pun lol) I always snap Oscar.. Great shot your making me consider this lens Phil !

[Kerri]

Ruby is beautiful

[Maria Swaisland]

Gorgeous girl (and a great photo too!).

[Anita]

Is her ears that do it for me, Phil!

[Allison Williams]

She is a beauty. I love the semiphore ears and her quiet dignity. A friend of mine just adopted a rescued greyhound. I don't know if they have such organizations in the UK, but in the US, volunteers rescue greyhounds retired from racing. Her new companion, named Tess, has the smae gentle look.

[Sue Wilde]

I'm in love with Ruby's ears.

[Mags]

I think this is the best portrait I've seen you take of Ruby! Perfect, Phil!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

NEVER apologise for a picture of Ruby!! Her little face is beautiful and so sensitive, and those ears are set to miss nothing! Superb Phil!

[Mike]

She's a beauty. Great shot. She's 3D

[Jennifer C]

Wonderful portrait Phil.

[Sue]

So dainty, beautiful shot.

[Phil Howcroft]

@judithg thanks Judith it will be a good fit for your 600D !! I'm on flickr and there are some dedicated groups for this little lens and some amazing pics to be seen ! I paid 104-00 GBP from Jessops and that included a UV filter (click and collect in store) !
