Nice work Jason, my only thought is that he doesn't look exactly ecstatic in the last image.

plus, I don't think he was really digging getting pictures taken.

Hmmm...or he's having second thoughts :biggrin-93:

. I like the last one. Actually if it were cropped down to just him and the brown dog it would be perfect, they have exactly the same expression.

I actually wanted to get a few individual shots with each of them and one dog, but the dogs weren't having that.

No matter what you think, it's the dogs that run the show!! :biggrin-93:

They look great, and if that is just the way he looks, that's not really your fault!
Have you watched Friends? If so have you ever seen the one with Chandler's having to get his photo at a taken studio? :biglaugh:

I have not seen friends, so unfortunately I do not get the reference.
The dogs were well behaved overall, they just weren't going to look where we wanted them to look when we wanted them to do it.
The guy had about the same amount of interest in pictures as the dogs did, but his fiance wanted them so....you can see how that went. He's already learned to just do what she wants. [emoji6]
She didn't mind his serious expression. I guess she's like my wife and simply acclimated to it. She was just happy he was in the photos.

the skins look good to me in the first, by the last shot they are looking dead.

At least he was good enough to do it at all!

As for the Friends thing, ever time the photographer went to take the photo he did this... https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/02/c2/9d/02c29d74bfd8a27d78040361a90c8a80.jpg and couldn't stop that was his"photo smile"! :biglaugh:

Good catch!
I missed a bit of consistency there. I'll get it fixed up when I get home today.
Thanks.

no excuses!
I fixed up the skin tones in that last one. I don't think it was off very much. I only warmed it up +10, but I do think it was an improvement.
