oh my! that would be a big ol' sloppy kiss! i love the expression--he looks so gosh darned happy to see you! i would love to see this shot taken with the lighting set at an angle to the subject and camera, and with richer color tones. it looks like the flash is affecting the eyes in the shot, and the dog (dark fur, white fur, and tongue) appears to be bleached out just a bit by the lighting.

i don't know if this was intentional but this image is really dark, with a dark grey film over it. the red of the wine picking up the hilights from the plastic is a nice touch...

A Celebration of Fall
by banmorn

Comment:
i wonder how this picture would have looked with a dark brown background instead of black, to highlight the fall colors? it also looks like there's a string or seam behind the second leaf from the top on the left side. interesting idea for a shot, with the leaves flitting about the boquet.

Celebrating American History

vivid reds and blues, but not so much with that lawn. i would be interested in seeing how this photo would be with different lighting...like around sunset, when you get that soft, warm light that really enhances colors...
