Minox Dog

This shot has quite a bit of sentimental value for me. I took this picture of my dog, Sparky back in high school. This is the only time I got him to stay still long enough to get his picture. I guess 1/250th of a second is a long time in dog years. Sparky was a very special dog to my family, my father rescued him as a puppy from some people who were about to beat him to death. I got him when I was 3 and we grew up together. Sparky passed away in 2005 at 19 years old. Although I still miss him very much, I know he lived a good long life with us. As long as I have this photo, I will never forget him. 8 x 11mm, Minopan 100.

    That is a very sweet story and Sparky looks like a very sweet dog. Nice shot, David.

    The soft focus and the pattern of light and shadow on the wall of the house subtly and visually connects the dog to that building....very nicely done!

    Good contrast, brightness, use of grain, and good overall shot.
