Taking a Break Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo was taken on Fraser Island. This is an island on the east coast of Australia, just north of Brisbane. It costs around 150$ AUD to rent a land cruiser with aobut 7 other people to rip around this "worlds biggest sand island" for 3 days - camping all the way.

The highways on the island are the beaches, as seen here. This is a photo of a Dingo. They are apparently the purest breed of Dingo in the world, because they are so isolated on this island, and have not interbreeded with regular dogs.

This particular dingo was chasing our land cruiser for a while, so we stopped to take a photo of it. For some reason, as soon as we stopped, it took this pose on the beach for me. I guess it may have been used to posing for us tourists.

Scanned from print. Slightly increased contrast and sharpness.

I like the paysage. The dingo is adding a lot to the picture.

Simple and interesting photo. Like the clear texture with few variation. As said, the dingo is adding a lot. Haven't been interesting without that detail, or other subject at the same place. Could be very interesting to try taken a series of different object in the dingos place. Not an expert my self, but I might feel that it is a little overexposed.

Great photo,my dog is part dingo so reminds me a lot of my dog. I would try and perhaps adjusting the brightness on this one in Photoshop.
