  #65 Unusual/different angles 		Entry 17 of 27
   
 
What The Dog Sees       ©2009 wrosenthal
Panasonic DMC-FZ18       17th place, 39 points
1/160s, f4.2, ISO 100, 504mm, Normal Program, Center Weighted Average, no flash
 
Post-Processing: Cropped; exposure adjustment (offset and gamma). Color conversion and adjustments in CS3 using Silver Efex Pro.       Extra Info: The dog and I are looking straight up at his (the dog's) nemesis squirrel. I, of course, see this in color. Actually, dogs are not completely color blind, but I chose not to tone this shot in monochromatic shades of blue or brown.

Sep 28, 2009		     This was my #4. It's unfortunate that the dog couldn't vote....

Sep 28, 2009		     That is extremely generous. I am glad that you like the work. The truth is that I usually shoot for myself. It's very rewarding when someone else sees what I see and appreciates it.

Sep 28, 2009		     Bill this is such a great image and my No. 5 pick. When I think of classic photography I think more and more often of your images. I think there is an element of making the extraordinary seem easy and effortless that is a testament to your skills (and is maybe overlooked by many who vote). I wish I could do images as you have in these last couple of challenges but maybe I need a few more years of work at it. (I must have shot 100 squirrel in trees and never yet quite managed this.) Always enjoy seeing your work like this.

Sep 27, 2009		     Cool :-) I like the DOF all around, with the squirrel tack sharp and the leafs at different levels creating a very nice framing. Also b&w works very well. An the double angle (you looking up-the squirrel looking down) for me fits the theme, so it's TT for me, well done on a nice pic!

Sep 26, 2009		     Many thanks to the dog for giving us such an interesting view. It's a beautiful photo, and the monochrome gives it a very soft effect.

Sep 25, 2009		     Great shot, I really like this photo, nice capture of the squirrel. The B&W works for me.

Sep 25, 2009		     Right. The leaves at the bottom are a problem. They are much more in the foreground and both out of focus and strangely back lit. Not much I could do about it because to crop would have ruined the remainder of the shot.

Sep 25, 2009		     A lovely nature shot. I like the b&w. Not sure what has happened to the leaf edges on the bottom. I suspect that in colour the bright areas on the right would be intrusive. Here they are not. Well done.

Sep 25, 2009		     Not really a tame squirrel in any sense. It felt safe way up the tree. This looks close, but the camera was at max focal length, about 500mm (35mm equivalent).

Sep 25, 2009		     Very tame squirrel......or unusually soothing photographer (and dog). This is a compelling shot. Woof!

Sep 24, 2009		     An uncommonly good portrait of such a common animal.
