Play with me

Just another processing experiments, please tell me if you think this dosen´t work in your opinion.

What can I say, I love to photograph dogs and I love dogs! I`m very much a dog person, just without a dog:( This great Newfoundlander belongs to a friend.
I think that looks good to me

The composition is spot on. The only thing I would say is that for me, there isn't enough contrast with the rope and the fence behind it - they are almost the same colour. But I don't think there is much that could be done about that. It's a good shot otherwise, you can feel the energy in it and the tones are nice.

I like the shot but I'm not so sure about the pink tones and I agree that there needs to be more contrast. You could tone down the fence a bit by reducing the highlights to get more definition on the rope. The detail on the dog is superb though and all of this is very subjective. If you think it works, then that's the important thing!

great shot i can understand you love fot dog, i can see it in your pictures
May 19th, 2013  
Nice, but the white fence looks a little over exposed to me, but great content
May 19th, 2013  
Oh, impressive jaws

Hienon kuvan olet saanut napattua, mustasta nöffistä ei ole niin kovin helppoa saada onnistuneita otoksia, saatikaan jos kyseessä on adhd tapaus joka ei pysy hetkeäkään aloillaan:) well done!

niin ja suosikkeihin pääsi:)
May 19th, 2013  
I think this is a lovely image and it works for me, just to prove it fav!
May 19th, 2013  
Lovely shot, those dogs a huge, I wouldn't want to play tug with one :)
May 19th, 2013  
I like the tones and composition..and that dog tooth! Excellent capture.
May 19th, 2013  
Lovely shot of the dog. I'd like the rope a little darker.

@padlock Thank you Padlock for your comment and thank you for visiting my project



@mercuria Thank you so much Ariel for your great feedback, I really appreciate it. Yes you´re right about the contrast and nothing can really be done about it now. It looks better in a original shot thou, this is just messing it all up

@sturnus Thank you Carol for such a great comment, I really appreciate the feedback. Yes those tones are not usual and I don´t even know why I went there,I had more natural versions to chooce from but as you said it´s all about matter of taste and this pleased me at the time.

@fotohendriks Thank you Fotohenriks, yes I sure do

@ch1ppy_m1nton Thank you Chippy, the original photo is not overexposed, it´s just this processed version but you´re right it´s too light.

@catherine42 Yes Catherine, those are some jaws

@dania No kiitos Dani, kylläpä sitä nytten kehutaan :) Mulla oli koirakuiskaaja apuna ;)

@denidouble Thank you Deni and thank you so much for the fav

@dreamatrix Thank you, yes those are huge dogs. This one is not so huge thou but my sister has one that is as big as veal, that is seriously one big dog!

@nanderson Thank you Nancy, you´re too kind. Those are some jaws.

@tristansmum Thank you Stephanie, so would I.

Ria
Tug of war and having fun:) The processing has a pencil artsy look:)
May 20th, 2013  
@lynnw Thank you Lynn. It sure is, as it´s almost too hot for them in Finland too :D

@eu4ria1 Thank you Ria, tyg of war is fun!
May 20th, 2013  
I think it is a great shot. They are such beautiful dogs. I hope you get to have one someday. :)
May 20th, 2013  
Wonderful detail and composition, and the tooth tells a story of its own. I feel like I'd like the tones a little warmer but this look is great too.
May 20th, 2013  
@bristolrose Thank you Kathryn, they are beautiful dogs but I have my eyes set to German Shephard again.

@sansjuan Thank you Nita, yes I agree perhaps a little warmer tones could have been a better choice, thank you!
May 20th, 2013  
Aw man, isn't he gorgeous! I am also very much a dog person.
May 20th, 2013  
@nadines Yes he is, but man how much they drool!
May 20th, 2013  
Great close up. I like the details you captured on the dog's face and the texture of the rope.
May 20th, 2013  
@kwind Thank you Kim, so glad you think so.
May 20th, 2013  
I think it is a great shot. Love the composition and the details of the dog. Like the texture of his fur. And of course I love dogs
May 20th, 2013  
Oh, I love this experiment! Fabulous processing, love how desaturated colors leave more space to admire the textures and details! And the dog is just beautiful!
May 20th, 2013  
@joyce2013 Thank you Joyce for such a great comment

@lunaksi Thank you Lunaksi, really appreciate your saying so
May 20th, 2013  
Great picture, i would be happy if I took it :)
May 20th, 2013  
@rich101 Thank you Rich, that´s so nice of you to say
May 20th, 2013  
I think the processing works really well as it gives contrast and detail to the dog. Black dogs are so hard to photograph. You did a great job!
May 20th, 2013  
@happysnap Thank you Linda, I really apreciate your kind comment
May 20th, 2013  
Really love the tones...and the dog ! I am not sure if there should be anything 'done' on the fence...do understand the comments about that (contrast e.d.) but for me it is just good as it is..it is just the bit blurred background. Agree with @happysnap about the contrast and detail to the dog.
May 20th, 2013  
Great shot!
May 20th, 2013  
Awww so sweet! Lol I find it extremely amusing when dogs pull stuff!
May 20th, 2013  
@sjouk Thank you Sjouk for such a great comment. It was either white fence or some dark backround, then the rope would have been more visible but black dog on black, that´s really a challenge!
May 21st, 2013  
@pandora Thank you Susan

@tiss Yes, they are so into it!
May 21st, 2013  
A beautiful dog :) I like the composition but would tone the highlights down a little, the fence pops a bit too much. The dog looks great though, a lot of detail in the fur etc., and the exposure is very balanced. The monochrome conversion was a good choice I think and the tone you chose brings a bit of warmth to the shot, I like that. Nice!
May 21st, 2013  
@janim Thank you Jani, insightful as always and yes you´re right about the fence. In original version there´s no problem cos there´s green grass ect between the dog and the fence. I´m glad you liked the monochrome tones, couldn´t just post it in original colors cos that would have been too ordinary shot. Beautiful dogs yes they are but they drool so much, which is not cool in my books.
May 21st, 2013  
Love it! What a beautiful baby :) I like the way you can see his teeth.
May 21st, 2013  
@adamj Thank you Adam, yes such a beaty and some jaws too :)
May 21st, 2013

May 22nd, 2013

May 22nd, 2013
