Before the Storm

Like the layers of lovely colour and many tonal switches.
Bella looks a bit sweeter in this than in other photos I have seen of her! :-)

Thanks Jo.

She does love the beach - (it's the photographer's fault for pressing the shutter at the wrong moment.)

Cheers

Alan, I've been a bit concerned of late that your photography work has been going off the rails, but then you post up what can only be described as an absolutely brilliant shot.

Try to be a bot more consistent in future. Don't give up yet.

PS Charles says he really loves this shot. At least he can still recognise a good photo when he sees one.

I have to disagree with Bella and think like Jo that it's the horizontal lines of different tones which make this image a standout.

Thanks Bella. (and Charles) I'm trying not to give up. It's always helpful to have posing poodles willing, (sometimes), to take one's photo to a higher level. Charles has also told me that few photos can't be improved by the inclusion of a poodle (or three) - but just sometimes .....

I think he is going to have a quite talk to you tonight about embracing other styles/genres of photography which don't include poodles

Just lick his nose and all will be fine in the morning, (as you well know)

Thanks Gabby, I've tried to set Bella straight

Cheers
