One of them, anyway. Sage, who is an almost 3-year old Irish Wolfhound. She was not thrilled to be sitting in front of lights and a camera and my favorite pose ended up with me slightly out of focus, so this is my 2nd favorite ... really much easier to do this with someone else's help! But then it wouldn't be as much of a challenge.
Not the most creative shoot I've ever done ... nothing else has occurred to me, tbough.
PP - flipped upright, cropped, levels, duplicate layer (gaussian blur, lightened, merged in mulitply mode), lightened some facial features, darkened Sage's pupil, fixed a weird light on her eye, whitened my teeth and whites of my eyes, dodged my back arm slightly, touched up a couple of spots, resized, sharpened, blurred background more, added a teeny bit of hair to even out her neck (only an IW person would have noticed the unevenness ... but I am one), added border. |

| Lovely lighting, and a magnificent Irish Wolfhound. You are nicely offset against the black background. I enjoy seeing such a clear image of you. It's so nice to have a face to go with all the nice messages, and conversation. |

Irish wolfhound! Love them dogs. When I was 8 I had a paper round where I cycled to my neighbourhood dropping newspapers around the place. Once, an Irish wolfhound got overly excited on seeing me and ran to me and I fell off my bike. He then came over and stared licking my face, but I was terrified he was going to eat me!
They're also pretty dumb, but really friendly. They used be vicious and be much much larger and stronger. Great dogs though! |
