Julie,
very nice as usual. Great background and nice use of selective focus. Very nice processing. Excellent composition.

And the ears on that first dog are really something! Wow, looks like a Pharoh Hound.

This is an excellent series overall. Congrats!

Jim

Awesome. I really like your post processing.

Julie, would you do me a favor and post a bad shot, or even a mediocre one please? All you shots are awesome and it get's a little tiring! :-)
Beautiful shots!

These are so nice. If you don't mind, how exactly did you set them up?

These were done around 7pm in a garden, I face them into the sun(with the sun at my back) and that is about it! I use a fairly wide aperture, closing down when I get multiples in the shot. When it is just one, I often shoot wide open

That is about it

Thanks Julie. They are lovely. I am going to do a practice session at a friend's house (she has a rat terrier) and am thinking about different things to try!
