This is Hannah, my other pooch. she's getting to be an old lady, she is still very patient with me. She sat there for ages whilst i kept on taking photos. This was the best shot out of the bunch, although its not great, i kind of like it.
Thanks for the ideas Pam, i know just the spot where i could do the sky thing. I'll give it a go, and if it works out, i'll post it here and give you a shout.
I like it too, the dof is great.. the green makes a nice bg, I wonder what a gray bg would do?.. try placing her on a sidwalk so the bg is a diff color... or on a hill ( tailgate) and see if you can get a blue ( sky) bg. One of my fav flowers was taken w/ a concrete sidwalk behind it. It really made the shot!
