Great photos - love 1 and 3 (the blue eye is very captivating with just a slight hint of menace in the look). The second one seems a little dark.

Cheers

Number 3 is just great, his look and his blue eye is just perfect.

They certainly do - from memory, huskies, keeshonds (sp), and other cold weather breeds can have blue eyes. In fact there are some breeds which can have different coloured eyes (right vs left).

Cee-estoo-hound can easily have any coloured eyes (bad attempt at Friday humour)

#1 - great pose, framing, tone and out of focus (I mean bokeh, not that it's out of focus... )
#2 - is his nose just kewt as a buttooooon?

Very nice but #3 is the standout image. The dog's pose is almost elegant and the blue eye really adds some colour relief to the image. Very nice work.

The third one?

Postby zafra52 on Sat Aug 26, 2006 6:00 pm

I love the fluffy looks of the fist subject, which is not compromised by too much sharpness in the picture. The third subject captivates the casual observer because the unusual camera angle and that hard staring blue eye warning not to come any closer. I think I prefer this last picture.

The first dog in shots #1 and 2 is a cutey, but #3 (a Siberian Husky or something? I had Akita's and familiar with Malamutes etc.) strewth, the eye is so menacing, really catching... I must admit, some of the husky's I've seen are almost evil looking with really bright blue eyes...
