Excellent detail on the pup’s face where it’s needed, Irene, and I love that expression. If you’re into cloning, I’d get rid of the dead grass blade sticking into the right side of the frame. For some reason, once I notice it, it’s magnetic.

As a general note, it helps if you list your shooting parameters. If there is a technical issue with an image, it’s really difficult to make sensible suggestions without knowing what the shooting parameters were.

A beautiful image.

No, sorry. Will soon. Or maybe I could save some running around by sending the file to someplace near you where you could pick up? Costco Prescott does a good job, right?

Love, Irene

Many thanks for the suggestions and I will include metadata next time.

Love this group!

Irene, the expression and details in the pup are terrific. I’m also enjoying the bits of green peeking up from the sand.
