I have followed Daisy around for 3 days trying to get her to sit still so I could shoot her for this challenge. She finally pooped out while the sun was heading behind the trees and posed for me.

I was shooting with a 430ex on camera, though it doesn't appear that it fired for this particular shot. I guess it was recycling. Still turned out nicely, though.

Most PP was in Adobe RAW, with minor curves and levels.

Super Duper Beagle Portrait!

Cute Dog. Good composition for the most part but the top right of the photo is a little distracting my eye keeps being pulled there even though it is not the focal point. A little over saturated for my liking but over all a good photo.

Lovely lighting and bokeh on this.

This is one of my favs, for sure. The light here is absolutely wonderful, and the dog's pose just as delightful.

I absolutely love the warm tones and lighting in this composition! The warm lighting perfectly illuminates the beagle and complements the dog's breed...the autumn colors make me think of painted hunting scenes and the beagle's breed is a known hunting dog. Focus is nice and sharp giving us some lovely details in the texture of the fur. The fact that the beagle is not looking at us does not bother me but I feel it complements and adds interest the the scene. The viewer wonders just what it is that has captured the dog's attention and thus with our curiosity peaked you capture and hold our attention. One critique on this composition, there are times a composition calls for a full body shot and this is one of them. Let us see the full body of this regal beagle in this beautiful natural setting.

The lighting is beautiful here. One of my top picks for this challenge.

Fantastic bokeh on this shot - I wish the dog was looking at me but I also like how it is searching for it's owner - almost like it is what is required to complete the portrait

I love love love the tones and colours and lighting....my favourite.

I like this. Warm colors, good use of rule of 3rds for the crop. Good choice of DOF - the bokeh works well.
