Hey Everyone,

Here are a few shots of a Smooth Coated Collie that I photographed. Her name is Tegan.

Cheers
James

Beautiful shots, James. Pretty dog too.

Thank you, Marie!

James

Hey Folks,

Are these images washed out as well when you see them?

James

Yeah, maybe a little bit. I can also see some "not quite black" backdrop in the first one. Cute dog.

Lovely shots James. Not washed out from my viewing. My favorite is the full body. I like the unusaly perspective.
One comment is that I would like to see a little more background light behind this pup, especially the ear area. The tipped ear is important in this breed and I just would like to see the fold a bit more.
Lovely dog too!

The first looks fine. The second two look all pixelated and blotchy almost like the image file is corrupted.

This is what I see on the second one:

Thanks, Jim. That is what I thought. I have no idea what is going on with the files on my end. At first I assumed it was just the color space issue, but there is something else that is really odd going on.

James

Thanks Rebecca and Peggy!

BTW, Peggy - the backlight perhaps could have used a bit more 'oomph.' The other problem, of course, is that I was working quick and the beastie had moved. Having said that, I liked the gentle light on the back ground to give a sense of depth...not quite what like Preston, Diana and Helmi do, but on that order.
