Oh, Jim, you are such an optimist. Usually I do collages because it is next to impossible to get dogs altogether looking the same way, etc. etc. People love my collages because I can get the best shot of each dog and meld them together. In the case of the collage that I posted, grandmother would have killed granddaughter had we had them anywhere near each other.

This shot is not a collage and has been the only one I've ever been able to take of 3 together. This is mother on the left, her son in the middle (who I tragically lost to bloat on 12/31/07) and her daughter on the right. I would much rather have had the daughter facing like the other 2, but I turned and saw them standing/sitting together and grabbed the shot. 1 second latter, they were scattered all over the place.




The collage below was done because I was looking for very specific head positions to lead across the frame -- 3/4 to almost profile to absolute profile. These 3 dogs were great together, but I never could have gotten the look I wanted. This is a family photo of some of my Danes. The 2 end ones are brother and sister, and the middle one is the daughter of the one on the right. Sadly, I lost my Stoney (left 3/4 shot) on 12/3/07.
