My Husky

CFRacer22 · Apr 5, 2007

Wanted to share some pics of my Siberian Husky, her name is Alaksa. She's a beautiful dog, I wish my photography skills were good enough to capture it better...I like taking pictures of just her head for some reason, probably cause shes kinda on the small side for a husky and the headshots don't show it. Any opinions on the dog or photograhy welcome...

Beautiful Dog. I always wanted a Husky. Instead I have a psychotic lab.

Oooo, I very, very, very much like the light in the last photo here! That is some special light ... makes her ears all red, heehee, and gives nice, "picture-sculpting" shadows. I also like composition of that photo with Alaska a bit on the side.

In the first I really wish you had included her nose, otherwise the very close close-up on her face and blue eyes is nice.

The next two don't do so much for me and I am not sure they are sharp and in focus where they should be ... ???

But I do like Photo 4 for the background colour and the fact that we see her doing something that I assume she likes to do: observing all that's going on outside through the window. Lovely focus on her eyebrows and whiskers.

Photo 5 has her one ear clipped off a little, so sad

It's all about the eyes with a husky! She's beautiful! The last pic is definitely my fave...the lighting is very striking, and her 'expression', the composition, and just the interesting elements of the wood fence, and the grass/mud/rocks make for a winning shot.

thanks for all the compliments. the first pic was actually shots several months ago when I first got my rebel xti, just messing around snapping stuff in amazement of the detail it can capture. 2 & 3 i didn't think were amazing or anything, thats just the only time I've shot her in b&w so i posted them. I like 4 & 5 a lot because of the reason you said LaFoto, that she loves loking out that window (the house in on top of a hill and that is on the second floor, letting you see forever, so I'm sure thats why). And the last one I'm suprised so many people liked, I do like the lighting, but I guess since it is in my back yard that I see everyday it just seems a little boring to me. I do like it, otherwise I would not have posted it, but was just suprised I got much reaction from it
