Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posts .

Hi Andreas - Again nice low pov. Great pose from the pup. I love the profile so that we can see the whiskers against the sea bg. Nice colors and IQ again looks good at this size. Well done.

TFS,
Rachel

Andreas iso 16000 ...O...M...G does that translate buddy what I mean is wow this is superb. Apart from the supepb execution and the iso what really draws me is I can see the edge of the rocks, the horizon of the sea the fall off of the beach ,it's not just a wonderful portrait andreas its a pup at home /in his home ,does that make sense :pov profile whiskers and the grey of the north in winter ....everything works

Happy X mas Andreas have the most wonderful new year ride hard shoot straight

Take care

Stu

Cracking angle, soft tones and pose here, Andreas.
Your high ISO shots in low light are a testament to this new toy you are playing with. It seems it's finally catching up on the heels of its yellow counterparts

[Andreas Liedmann]

Thanks Morkel and Haseeb for your kind comments .... much appreciated .
Morkel .... in the right hands ... the toy will overtake the yellows .....in combo with the right PP work even more
Hope i will not step on Nikonian toes .... too heavy

Do not take me too serious ......

Cheers mate
