My Best Photo of the Week (MBPOTW) Challenge – week 1

Although it shows my dog in a somewhat worried state (which obviously I preferred her not to be in), I like this picture because her glance straight at the lens works well to connect instantly with the viewer. I usually choose not to over-saturate a picture, but in this case I feel the vibrant colours work, and so I am prepared to forgive the graininess in the leaves of the plants. Her eyes should capture you after all, not the graininess :P

The plant is the perfect foil for her uneasiness. Still and calm, the green leaves frame and reveal to you the unease a dog can feel in a perfectly safe and secure environment that is its home. Our flat has become a little messy of late but close cropping it to a small corner of the flat, you wouldn’t know, would you? :D

Update: Submissions has ended for this week. You can see the final submitted photos here – http://weliveinaflat.com/blog/my-best-photo-of-the-week-mbpotw-challenge-week-2/

  1. I think this is your best photo – ever!!!!! Honestly :)

  2. Fantastic photo! You definitely captured her eyes. She doesn’t look worried, though. I think she looks curious and cautious… and adorable.

    • Cautious is probably it, there was a bit of thunder but it was in the distance :) Thank you for the kind words Dawn!

  3. I like her expression. Almost like she is hiding or afraid of the camera.

    • She was like that even before the camera came out. She wasn’t sure about the thunder in the distance, I think, so she came by the door to check how I was reacting or not reacting to it perhaps. Or it may be for reassurance, who knows? Wish I speak dog or the dog speaks human :P

      • That is the wonder of having pets. In natural horsemanship they reach us to think like a horse, along with studying the four horsenalities. It works! Some day I’ll have to do a post on that.

        • Oh yeah I didn’t know there’s such word horsnalities! Let alone 4 :D I only rode a horse or pony once before on a trail ride. It was skinny, old and cranky! :D

  4. Fabulous picture! She is very expressive.

  5. Love the picture! It’s awesome :)

  6. Stunning shot! Love it Mrs. P. :D *hugs* to you and beautiful Donna. xxx

    • Unfortunately its easier to take pictures of her like this when she wants your attention, then pictures of her smiling when she rather you not take pictures of her D: Haha, Donna is beautiful but perverse :P *just joking :P*
