The light coming through the blind made this puppy appear to have zebra stripes. I took several using the flash and a few without - the stripes were more defined in the shots taken without flash. I then tweeked the contrast and levels a tiny bit in PS CS2 and ended up with this.....
I really like it. Love the pattern and the colour tones work well together. I've got a similar shot of my sis and her cat I took years ago.
Hi again, Sarah (I have just been to the Introductions and said "Hi" there, that's why I am saying "again" here), this is a very nice photo and there is no need at all to blush about! The puppy is cute and the way the blinds paint it in a zebra-like pattern is cool. I really like this as an animal portrait.
