dogs are too cute. i could look at shots of them the whole day.
if that was me and my dog, he would have been attacking my face. the sucker cant stand to stay still. not when theres a tennis ball in front of him.

Haha wow, as an owner of two dogs myself this photo really makes me laugh.

Aint doggies damanding lil buggers Still its all worth it in the end eh!

Great photo, using the ball as the foreground and focus, and having the background blurred out, even though the dog is of importance, it still works perfectly.

Top photo and going into my +favs

oh and welcome to my devwatch!

Cheers mate

The slightly tilted head is what does it for me. And your description. Very clever.

i love how you focused on the ball and left the dog as the background but also the main thing. a technique i could never pull off. love it. german shepherd.

So godamn simple, yet so utterly fantastic. The emtion simply leaps out of this, and like other people, i knew exactly what the title would be, and what the dog would be thinking Awesome photo, excellent stuff!

ayembee [2003-05-12 22:53:22 +0000 UTC]

wonderful sensitivity to the composition - the exposure, the depth of field, the timing with respect to the quizzical tilt of the alsation's head, and particularly the colour - it's the overall expressiveness that gets a well deserved

a beautiful photograph. very... human?

This is really cool. I really like the DOF, you can still see the dog and his expression, but you know really what he is wanting. awesome job. The texture on the ball is really nice also.

halfliquid [2003-05-12 19:22:25 +0000 UTC]

What a way to taunt a dog ... it's probably wondering what you're doing staring at it through this weird thing while there's a perfectly good ball on the floor waiting to be thrown.





And, as for the shot, it's sweet as well! The blurring in the distance works really well.

first off, the humor is just perfectly captured. the dog blurred with the ball
being the focus.. is perfection.
and secondly..... it made me laugh!
