would appreciate some perspective on my old friend Lou

[haleym77]

This is my old friend Louie. Have had him for 11 years now after saving him from the pound. He's getting old and I regret never getting any good pictures of my greyhound before she passed, so I wanted some nice pics of Lou for the inevitable day that he leaves our family. I took this today and am happy enough with it that I might want to frame it. But you know how it is when you stare at an image for too long...you lose perspective. I wanted to ask if anyone sees any big flaws or has any processing ideas. Or is it total crap and I should go do a reshoot? Thanks!

great job getting the focus on the eyes on not on the nose! And not centering it right in the middle of the frame.

I agree. I love how the eyes came out, and everything else has just the right amount of blur, in my opinion.

Thanks for the input guys, I decided to go ahead and get a canvas made of it. I'll let you know how it turns out

Fantastic shot, the focus is where it needs to be, great composition.

Thanks guys. I ended up getting a 12 x 18 canvas printed and stretched by a local professional lab, and it came out so beautiful! Will be pretty up on my wall and also a great way to remember my furry buddy long after he's gone (which hopefully will still be a few years from now)
