Don't normaly do this kind of work. Snapped this shot while photographing a soccer match. My best shot of the day, LOL!! Not too bad for a quick snapshot with a 400mm lens.

nice pose, nice lighting, good attention, you did good for a first shot

Very nice.

Hey James,

I am always partial to huskies. It is a nice photo. I am assuming that the light was very soft?

Yes it was, overcast skies but not very dark. Makes for great soccer shots too. You can get high shutter speeds and yet the players are nicely illuminated versus being all contrasty and shadowy. After getting home and see this dog's snapshot I was wishing I had taken more time with it. I really did just grab the shot from about 15-20 yards off with the 400. I think my Contax Zeiss 100/2 on the 5D could have really pulled in even more detail while giving even nicer bokeh to the background. But now I'm getting picky, LOL!

Very pretty photo!

Very nice shot, I love malamutes!

Nice focus, background and color. Really well done.

I'd be tempted to talk to the owner about the way the leash is being used, but that is another issue all together.

BTW,

Hi Everyone, I'm Jim
