ISO 80; f/8; 1/400; 7.7mm; 12:24pm (Canon Powershot SD 950 IS)

I wish I had been just a bit quicker in “seeing” this image… instead I had to work with what I had and cropped it to get the focus on the dog looking up at the donkey.

I used Aperture to lesson the shadow around the dog and then used the detailed brush to pull out a bit more on the dog and the donkey.  Then I ran it through Topaz Simplify Image CrispEdge.

I wish I could take it over again… but at least I did have my camera with me when the van advertising a “Donkey and Bull Show” came through the park while I was working on Christmas Eve.

Some girls just don’t like their portrait taken!

This is Gracie.  She was at the airfield last night.  She was sitting on her owner’s lap looking quite intently at me.  So I thought, “Here’s a possible portrait = her face is in the shade and she’s eye level with me.”  So, I pulled out the camera and aimed it at her, pressed the button half way to focus and then just as I pressed the button to shoot… she stuck out her tongue.  And just as quickly, put it back.  If I hadn’t caught the moment, no one would have believed me!

(ISO 80 f/5 1.125  23.5 mm  — cropped slightly, cloned out an oddity in the background, burned around her eyes, and used a preset but fooled around so much with the presets, I don’t know which one.  It improved the vibrancy and turned up the blue hue and did something with the highlights.
