 Photo of Camir waiting for me to tell her she can have her treat.

The light was not very good in my apartment, so I had to lower the aperture and slow down the shutter speed while laying down on the ground.

great photo. looks like you have a very patient and obedient canine friend! I love the brick in the background. If you could do something to bring out the texture in your dog's fur, I think that would help - the strong texture in the background distracts from the apparent smoothness of the fur. Something like this:



I ran a couple of passes of USM on the whole image and then masked out the background and floor so the only parts that were sharpened were your dog. Then I did a bit of dodging on the fur highlights to amplify contrast. Then a bit of NeatImage mostly on the background and the floor. As bear_music might say, this is "by no means a definitive rework," but maybe it's an adequate illustration of what I'm saying.

her stare is so intense! i feel like i am waiting for the command too, for a release from the strong emotion this image is radiating.

I love this shot. I can feel the anxiousness of the dog in awaiting the treat. What amazing self discipline! My two dogs would not even have let the treat hit the floor :)

Great capture - made me smile. You can just feel the tension in the dog waiting for permission to get the treat! ;^) I know you probably didn't position the dog for this shot, rather more of a spur-of-the-moment type thing - but you might consider (with Photoshop, PSP, etc...) selecting the dog, the floor up to the treat, and a little background to the right, and get rid of the remaining distractions. A little sharpening on the dog's face would help too.

Smile and keep having fun!
