The morning light backlit my Corgi, Lexi, as she enjoyed the sunny warmth on the back deck, and the house acted as a very large reflector. No fill flash was needed. The catchlights clearly reflect the windows of the house and may or may not be appealing.

I simplified the background with a layer mask in the second shot.

Any suggestions?

Vicki,
Lexi is a beauty, and your portraits reveal what a wonderful dog she is.

what a lovely face! The prettiest Corgi i have ever seen!



This is our sixth Corgi, and all of them have been lovely dogs, but this one may be one of the sweetest. She's certainly a devoted family member and seems to like everyone. I'm glad you like her dancers.

My Tara wants to know if she can come play in our yard?


Warning the last time we had someone's dog over (well we did watch Pumpkin for 10 days while they were on vacation) Tara ran poor Pumpkin to exhaustion. When our friends returned and picked her up they said Pumpkin ran into their family room curled up in her favorite spot on the old couch and except to eat and potty slept for almost 3 days.





This dog is well exercised with her horse-herding activities. After a morning of trying to keep up with my horse and the other dog, she spends many hours sleeping. It sounds like you understand the pattern. So, does Tara sleep well, too?

Vicki, I love your Lexi. I like what you did in the second photo but I love the smile on Lexi in the first photo better.

I changed the background in the second because I couldn't straighten the deck railing without chopping off part of an ear. That's my story and excuse, but it also served to set off the dog in a more formal way. Thanks for letting me know you liked these Greg.

Beautiful pup, Vicki. I love both shots. I'm not bothered by the background in #1 but the other is very nice, too. The black background gives a more formal portrait feel.



Thanks for the thoughtful assessment Carol. I value the time you've taken to comment on these two.

Lexi is beautiful, love the smile in #1. Very good shots Vicki.



Lexi usually has a smile on her face. She almost looks like she's whistling in the second shot. Glad you liked these Sylvia. Thank you.
