Aperture: f/2.8

Galleries: Humorous, Studio
Date Uploaded: Oct 29, 2006

 This was the first thing that jumped to my mind. I wish his paws were a little more seperated, so that he didn't look like he was lying down. He's actually flying through the air, with a big fan in front of him.

processing:
1) rotate image 30 CCW
2) Crop (to get rid of my assistance's arm!)
3) Tweak the levels a bit to bring down the background a little. There was a crease in the background that I wanted to get rid of.
4) Adjust the saturation +13%
5) Lowered Contrast -8%
6) Tweak some of the shadow and the highlight color balance.
7) very mild USM.
8) Resize.
9) Save for web.

Nice idea if you could really emphasize the wind effects. Eyes and brighter levels would help.

This is just way to cute! The wind blowing in the dogs curly ears is very good, like the black background as well. I am a sucker for dog shots and this meets the challenge. (Great title as well) 8

Yep. Ok. Go Super Dog. It's cute, but I'm not really buying into the wind theme of this photo. Sorry. The image also seems a bit dark, like the dog could be brightened up a little. Good luck.

Too funny! And cute. The ears flyin' depict the whole wind thing, too.

I like the concept. I think you shutter speed was set too high, since everything is frozen. It could have been taking on a black matt for all I know. But really good idea.

Original idea - I would have liked to see more contrast in the photo.

Kinda looks like a "super dog" shot. Fun and interesting, just needs the cape!
