I recently did a cleaning of my gallery and deleted some that I miss being there. This is one of them. I liked the Watchdog In Training photo it encouraged by Jan. I did a little more work on it and decided to "repost" it.

Edit:I apologize for those who had already commented but Count B suggested it needed a little beefing up since it wasn't a poodle or some other lap dog. I agree.

Of course, the local aristocrat here was absolutely right !!!!
But I am not going to repeat that this is one of the four fathers of my Boris. LOL

Here are the comments from those who had already commented.

Dunstickin-Owd Timer: It has the kind of stare that says..."Come any closer, and I'll take yer arm off"!!

You done good work here my friend....

Ramad-Raj:I like the lighting in this one Tick. The eyes can be seen and the brown snout. Nicely done, beautiful post.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

Marzena -SAM: I do remember it !! I do, I do !!!
Had it in my favourites but it vanished.

The image shows one of the Boris' fathers - he had three of them, as you all know very well or at least should know by now LOL
Yours SAM

With all my love and respect, Marzena


Biffobear-Count B: I like this image the way the doark areas blend with the dark of the dog..I maybe would have given him a little more room..He looks a tad squashed..Overal very nice though....R.

He looks like a dangerous dog, but his eyes say something different. Lovely shot, Tick.

Sensational shot, TicK. The variety of your work is only surpassed by your skills. The black background really creates a mood that you only improved upon with the lighting in your post photo work. If you ever tire of playing golf, you definitely have a career in dog portraiture. This is probably the second best dog shot I've seen on Caedes. This one is still my all time favorite, I think.

This is definitely one you want to keep in your gallery. Looks like one of those pet portraits that folks pay a lot of money for. Well done.

A wonderful use of negative space in your presentation, Tick. A very nice closeup of the watchdog. I hope you didn't put up too much of a fight.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Rottweilers are beautiful dogs, and their facial expressions seem almost human. The black background highlights the markings on Watchdog's face quite well.

Tick - The dog's eyes are penetrating the lens, staring directly at the viewer. With his serious look, one wonders what great philosophical ideas are whirling around in his brain. With the dark background and body fur, the portrait is of the facial highlights. Exceptional work. Thad
