Canon 1D Mark III
100-400mm lens @260mm
1/160 sec. at f/7.1
ISO 800
HH, Almost FF
Low light, wish I had my tripod. Not the best IQ but I did like the sweetness of it.

I like this, and find no problems with IQ in the important areas., and is definitely sweet:)

I am surprised that the S/S is so low given the ISO.

Interesting reflection in the eye, looks like you were right on sunset (or sunrise?). Nice pose in the pup and I like the fact that you've managed to keep some detail in the background sand.

[Alfred Forns]

Like it and quality wise looks fine, would just like seeing detail on the teeth Excellent !!

Thank you all for your kind comments.
Ken, It was late and there was almost zero light.
Hilary, Good eye- it is the sunset in it's eye.
Alfred, me too!!

Hi Denise, you did very well to get the sharpness u did at that low SS, the eye and head angle with subtle BKG really makes this one lovely image...

How lovely, Denise. I too was drawn to the reflection in his eye.

Thanks Grace, I appreciate it.:)

Denise, IQ looks fine here. Love the sandy wet coat and I also like the sunset in the eye when I first saw it. BG sand fading away works very well. Nicely done indeed!
