Snake in the Grass

Well not really. Just my old chocolate lab Misty with her piercing yellow eyes. I miss her so. She used to accompany me on local photo adventures. She died in 2008.

The low perspective, shallow dof, and the eyes are really nice.

Hi Eva :wavey: I see a lot of love for you, in those eyes. what a wonderful image to keep in your heart for a lifetime.. Pets give use so much companionship and love when they are with us... but with their short lifespans.. we are heartbroken when they go. :

Excellent snapshot Eva. I like your low viewpoint and excellent selective focusing. You have captured this nice dog in superb light. Well done. :smile:

Very sweet look! Misty had some very, very expressive eyes. I am a bit prejudiced, but labs are the best!

I know what you mean about missing her. My older lab has been gone 3-1/2 years and I still really miss her. She was one hell of a dog.

With your low perspective, she does look like she is trying to "hide" in the grass. :smile: Beautiful picture to remember a beautiful dog. Lots of personality can be seen in those eyes.

What a wonderful capture of Misty, Eva. She almost looks relaxed here, but at the same time very tuned in too. Our pets are truly our best friends in life. It is such a heartbreak when they pass away.....thanks for sharing this photo.
