She is thinking

by Giuseppe Guadagno

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted April 7, 2015157 views9 comments

Our daughter is a four years old duchshund. I was never able to take a photo of her because when my eye reaches the viewfinder she is already disappered. This portrait is the only exeption because she was so deep in thoughts that she didn't see the camera for the three seconds needed.

 

In her bed, against the door window.

D800E, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/18 and ISO 800.

Gigi, I am familiar with that challenge too!

Beautiful gal and a nice portait of her, I especially like the reflection of her bed in her eyes.

She does look a bit shy, Giuseppe. You were able to sneak a nice shot of her though!  It looks like her bed perfectly matches her highlights and the color of her eyes.

Lovely shot, Gigi.  The color and pattern matching between the bedding and the dog is perfect.

I really like the harmony of color.  This conveys strong feeling and sense of serenity.

Stunner of a portrait, Gigi! The light and textures are gorgeous, and I quite like the comp. She looks (and sounds) like quite a character!

Very nice shot with a beautiful expression. I love the way the colors of her bed match her colors. I think she's getting a lot of love.

What a sweet dog, and my favourite breed! Did you match the bed to her fur color? Perfect camouflage.

Monica, we bought that bed just for the matching colors. Thanks for you nice words.
