Blackie
Haven’t seen all that many dogs here on RB, so thought I’d try this one. Was actually doing shots of a friend’s Chihuahuas (I know I spelled that wrong), and this black cocker from next door just saundered in, curled up and posed and said “You fool… WHY are you wasting time on those idiots… take me now while I’m in the mood”. So I did. The Chihuahuas hated me and the cocker. The friend loves dogs so she didn’t care.

Now I am in total envy. Both for how great this shot is and that you got to be with such a beautiful dog. The black on black composition and the lighting are exceptional. Just the slight amount of red in the tag sets off the brown in the eyes perfectly. Gorgeous. I am so very impressed.
I agree with Catherine this is a perfect new model for you. Get to know her/him.
Hiroko

Great story- what a happy little accident that he wandered in, but I’m sure the resulting photo was no accident. I love your gallery, and this one is fantastic, planned or not.

Thanks Barb, and yeah, it was cool the way this shot came about. If it had been planned, it never would have worked as good as it did.
