Dog at the Table #3
Today, we decided to revisit our Dog at the Table series. And again, I was reminded that while it is okay to make plans, do not plan on an outcome. Jack Henry was a bit restless today and so we did not spend the kind of time that I usually do in working with him.
I came away with a lot of images, but this is the one that most spoke to me tonite. I do not know if it is the lines of his neck or the shadow–it just seemed to be the image to go with for today’s post. There is a solitariness about this image to me and that may be in part of where I am in my other photography work now.
I am reminded too, that Jack Henry is getting older-there is more white around his eyes and snout. But still present is his quiet dignity and presence.
Today’s Dog Quote:
The truth I do not stretch or shove
When I state that the dog is full of love.
I’ve also found, by actual test,
A wet dog is the lovingest.

Lovely arrangement between Jack Henry’s shape and the eggs on the table. The eggs came out really well with that silky smoothness. And Jack Henry’s neck has got a lovely painterly swirl and his head is set off against the paler halo around it.
It all came together 🙂
What is the ReTouch app? I put the word into the App Store and various ones came up, and not sure which it is.

Thank you so much David-this is I think my favorite form of processing. I always enjoy seeing what comes out of the rough image. The app you want is Touch Retouch (I think they changed their name). I like it a lot-it can be limited but for simple fixes it gets the job done. Appreciate your visits!

You’ve caught him in a reflective/pensive mood. I love the lighting too.

Thank you Patti! The light is coming from two windows in my office. I try to take my photographs using available light whenever possible. And Jack Henry again–came through like a trooper!

Just beautiful! The composition is perfect and the smooth finish would make for an amazing fine art print.

Thank you so much Sheila-I am anxious to see how this will print. I use Hahnemühle papers and right now I am using one that has more of a watercolor texture. I think this will look wonderful! Thanks so much for stopping by and am enjoying seeing your portrait work. I went to school in St. Charles, so many of the places you tag bring back memories for me- 😉
