When I am taking a photograph I am always on the look out for interesting shapes and lines and of course, colour and tone. This purple door was screaming to be used as a photographic backdrop and the light in the small courtyard was perfect with a large building opposite the door cutting out the glaring top light of the sun. I really like how the red of the bricks and dog fur compliment each other and then the purple door acts as a darker contrast and frames the dog well. I've had some great feedback about this photo on Facebook too which is great, besides who can resist such a sweet face as Henry's?
A Golden will win accolades any day. Aren't they just the best and so expressive. LOVE the purple door as a backdrop. Well spotted!

DeleteLovely picture - I'm spotting the picture techniques too - framing, thirds ...And a wonderful subject, although I'd have never guessed the official name!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rashbre. Sometimes the rules apply, sometimes I break them. This time the rules worked rather well :)
DeleteHi there - I think you are correct – it’s a great combination of colour and tone - and a rather nice dog does no harm either!

No, it doesn't do any harm at all Stewart :)
DeleteIt is always great when an interesting 'prop' appears, just when you have your camera ready, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteEven better when you have a handsome man in the picture too!!! Love the way you managed to capture those great big paws.
I always have a camera on me Yvonne! I am always looking for interesting locations to take clients to.
Deletepurple is my favorite color and of course I adore dogs so this photo is a winner
ReplyDeleteadd to that the brick coloration, the way the light washes over the brick and the pup
