Rudy has his eye on me

Rudy is 11 months old now and I wanted a different approach for this shot so used a 21mm lens on the K-1 II for this. As I was exceptionally close it exaggerates everything, but gave me a different portrait from the norm.

All comments welcome, good or bad.

Truly excellent portrait, and great that it's that little bit different

Only one very minor thing that might have made it even better is the inclusion of the whole of the clipped paws - may not have been possible, and I guess you didn't have loads of time to get the shot but it would create a natural frame to have the whole of Rudy encompassed by the basket!

Thanks John. I agree with your comments. Unfortunately the pup is not a seasoned model like Rio, so it is a case of grabbing what I can

ps. Rio had his 10th birthday last Friday.....where did that time go ?

Tell Rio I would have guessed 5 or 6 years old

He says you are a charmer
