Charlie The Wonder Dog

Charlie is my walking buddy every morning. He expects me to crawl out of bed at 6 am and if I don't he will complain with high pitched cries that rival any alarm clock. We got him from SmallBreed Rescue of East Tennessee . Yes I carry my camera on our walks and hope for some good light or any light. This portrait was not easy because when Charlie is on his walks his nose is always on the trail of other animals. He had just started sniffing around in some tall grass when I noticed that he had collected grass seeds all over his face. The light was at a nice low angle which helped light his face producing detail. When shooting portraits the eyes should always be sharp. I always focus on the eyes first when shooting animals or people. LynnFreeny.com
