Hi Michele!! Great story!!! Love it. The point of focus as stated is a bit off and just alittle washed out in your highlight but still a nice capture of Willy just the same and composed Very good! I too find I have a hard time shooting my black and white on sunny days.....If you keep him out of the direct sun in the shade you won't have any troubles........I like the shot for its composition and close up tight crop!
Congrats.......:)
Much love ........
Paul

Michele -- By crisper in this case it is where the point of focus is. Look at the hair/fur to the right of Willie and you can see that is dead sharp. But the fur on the nose and face is somewhat blurry. Looks like the place where the ideal focus rests is not on the face. --Jan

Thank YOU Jan- a bit crisper ... would this be like sharper, or better clarity ? Honestly my pc monitor (etc.) is giving me some troubles lately so I ask in all sincerity as I am on the last legs of this poor tired Dell.... Yep- the Amazing World of Animals- I have seen Bella just soo jealous that she has chased Willie and then of course we have to break it up cause Bella could get blinded sooo easily :((
Best wishes, Michele~

Good and intimate portrait of Willie. Could be just a bit crisper to my liking though. It always amazes me how cats sometimes take control of much larger dogs and seem to become the dominant one in the pairing. Of course a lot depends on the temperament of the dog. No doubt if Bella was sufficiently irritated, ........... :) :) --Best to you, Jan
