It was absolutely amazingly warm today. I went out to shovel snow, ended up getting a sunburn on me face! (+7C feels great in January!)

Anyway, after the snow was finished, I took the opp to play, and my favorite pet cooperated as model!

FYI, Kelso is a mixed breed (mutt) mostly St. Bernard, then Akita, Great Pyr and lab in equal bits

    That is one magnificent dog, and I think the "properly exposed" one is the one that really does Kelso the most justice. Though #3 is a close second.

    But it's fun to play with effects. :D

    Kelso looks like a big Teddy bear.

    Very nice shot of him, but I think he needs a keg of booze to carry around up there in the Great White North.:D

    Thanks - it is fun, I think I have been spending too much time on the FM wedding forum, where a series of shots is incomplete without sun stars or flare!

    Anyway, I had an idea and executed it, and got another good shot of one of my favorite models!

    He is cuddly, for sure. Thankfully he doesn't try to sleep on anyones bed but his own. He does sit on my mom's knee though - hilarious because he outweighs her!

    ...I always used to say that my favorite dogs were those you could wrestle with and have a good chance of losing! Looks like your guy would fit the bill nicely...

    Yep, he would wrestle with you, but you would never lose! He is a big huge softy. Protective like crazy of the kids, mind you. If anyone play fights with the kids, Kelso barks and gets in between. I think that would stop most people from going any further.
