I Can’t Identify It
Posted under Animals, Color, Critiqued
It’s a rear talent to make other people smile through photography, particularly when the photographer has preplanned the setup and deliberately captured the hummer.
The moment we see this image we get the point. The placement of the bubble so close to the tip of the dog’s muzzle without touching tells the story of our friends questioning nose. The photographer’s timing was perfect. The selection of the pink background picks up the same color in the muzzle and around the eye of the dog. I think it was a risky choice of color but it worked out very well.
This image has great commercial probabilities. It puts me in mind of the old RCA logo of the dog and the Victoria entitled “Hearing His Master’s Voice”.

Thank you James for your critique. This was a one in a million shot. I was able to capture this just before the bubble burst on his nose. It is one of my favorites. The BG was simply a red gel placed over the BG light. For some reason it turned the white wall behind Cyrus pink. I have been having so much fun experimenting with my lighting and posing my dogs. You just never know what you may end up with. I hope you viewers enjoy this photo as much as I did taking it.
