Hi, it's been a LONG time since I've been able to visit here and it feels great to be back.

I've only been using my photography lately to list stuff for sale online or to enhance my online published stories, but recently I felt that urge to start pushing myself to do more than take snapshots.

This a web-resized version of a shot from my Nikon D90, (sorry first I listed the wrong lens! It's just the one that came with the kit -- 18-105 VR), of my new little stray/abandoned/recently adopted by me, wiener-dog mix Gizmo.

I know I'm not submitting it correctly but I don't have access right now to the hard drive where my original files are stored. At any rate, since he is a black dog I was curious what your 'knee-jerk' reactions are to this.

1/200th, f5.3, -1.3EV, autofocus I think, lightly post processed in PSCS2 (cropped, adj auto levels and contrast, signed).

If it's not possible to critique w/o the original file, I can send that tonight.

btw this pup is a RIOT, lol, and now has a YouTube presence.

Thanks a lot for looking!

Cathy
