Yes, it is difficult to caoture dogs, and shadows of dogs. The same thing happend to me with my ">my dog , it was very difficult to convice him to pose. very nice play with the shadow, I oike it very much. You can also make another version, without the dog, just the shadow. Well done.

Hahaha, well seen. People should teach their animals to stand still when other people are taking pictures. B&W is great for this picture since it's about shadows.

I'm gald you are still playing with shadows. This is another beautifull photo Claudia. I'm sure it was not easy to take with the dog runnng around. But finally you got a great shot with the dog in the right position.

Waow!
Nice shot! The shadow is perfect.
I would have appreciated a little more space at the bottom right, but for sure you can't do what you want with dogs! And even less with cats!
Well done!

hola
he nearly got out of the frame!
and could be a shadow there which made you crop this..?
the textures and gradation is good and makes b/w the hardest to really work in successfully.
its came out well.
edit..the diagonal kerb helps the raise eye scan. :)

Yes - perhaps he was chasing his cat shadow ;-) Very well spotted and captured - great title :-)

Bizarre dog-cat. Funny. Good shot!
Curieux chien-chat. Amusant. Bien fait.

What an eye you have, and patience too. Fantastic shot. Hilarious.
I like how Geof reframed this shot.

Mais um grande ângulo e mais uma grande composição a explorar as sombras...o título está definitivamente apropriado. Bom trabalho!

Another great shadow photo, Claudia. You captured the dog in just the right position. Well done.

Beautiful shot. Was it your intention just to take a photo + shadow of the dog or were you aware of the cat shadow?
Very good composition with the shadow in the midlle.

Surprising! Interesting! Strong composition out of the norms (because the dog looking out of the frame). Creaative shot. I like it a lot! B&W is a good choice too. Funny and nice shot!

O titulo é excelente e adequa-se perfeitamente à foto! É realmente muito engraçada.

Para além disso gosto da composição e do jogo da sombra. O pormenor da diagonal do passeio é muito bom e traz aquele detalhe extra à foto. Só tenho duvidas relativamente ao contraste. Parece-me um pouco forte demais.

Maybe she has been a cat in one of her previous incarnations.
Nice pic.

JanBartos (161) 2004-04-12 6:15

Technically very good & funny at the same time - great! I like your original version much more!

Very nice use of light and shadow. That is what the word photography means, photo - light; and graphy - writing or painting.

Photography - Painting with light.

You've capture an unusual scene just perfectly. Even having the dog at the edge of the frame still forces the eye toward the center, the cat like shadow.

Olá Cláudia,
Excelente apanhado com um excelente título! Só me posso rir com a situação...
À parte isso, a foto está muito boa, de POV, luminosidade e contrastes. Bom uso do preto e branco!
Parabéns e obrigado pela partilha (foi o Joseelias que me trouxe aqui...)
Bom fim de semana,
Ricardo

Hi Claudia. Good use of the dog to cast a long shadow as you present here. Excellent result. His nose is very close to the frame. TFS. Murray.
