June 3rd - Hold Still...

...for a moment.
I have newfound respect for evans, Henk & Joop and glandry113 after trying to take pics of my dogs. I didn't have a good idea for my PAD today, so I thought a shot of the dog would work out. Of course, as soon as the camera was out and I started snapping, Sophie didn't want to sit still for me. With the promise of a biscuit, she finally settled down. That and a few strongly stated "sit" commands...

PS Tweak: levels, unsharp mask...

LOL! Thanks for the mention Todd! :) Be careful about setting a "biscuit precedent" - if my little fella got biscuits every time we took a photo of him... well, we'd have one FAT dog!! This is a lovely shot -the expression in those gorgeous brown eyes is almost human...

Oh, she got the biscuit.

And a little hamburger to boot!

That look of.. "I'm getting another biscuit for this.. RIGHT?"

Good job getting a poodle to sit. She looks serene and majestic, as if she always sits and looks at her subjects that way.
