Dexter - Boxer portrait

Lyncca · Jun 11, 2009

This was taken with my new 105mm macro lens. It makes beautiful upclose portraits I think...

The bigger versions look really great with all the detail captured.

The angle is a bit too extreme, but other than that they're nice shots. The small part of his/her ear missing in the first picture bugs me a bit tho

Thanks Marius (is that right?). Yes you are right that they are pretty extreme angles, but I like to play with that type of thing. If it were a full shoot, there would be all types of shots from full body to headshots, straight on and turned angles. Everyone likes different types of shots, so I try to supply a little of each

And yes, the cropped ear was a mistake, which is why I took the second shot as well

Oh, and by the way, you have some bad a** car photos!

I recognize the need to experiment

And it's a good thing. It's easy to get stuck doing one thing. I need to try more new stuff myself.

Btw: you can sharpen those pictures a lot more, without the image suffering from it. Making the dog stand out even more.

And, thanks

Yea, the original is REALLY sharp, it was this down-graded version that is auto-generated from my gallery that suffers.
