Default King of the Wild Frontier

I often include one of my dogs in a composition, but rather than just attempt a 'doggy' portrait, I try to include him (or her) as a component part of the composition.

All taken with a Canon 1DS MKII, 17-40 F4L lens.

First one somewhere in the Lake District.

Les, these are incredible. Unfortunately, they're so good I almost want you to clone the dog out. Nothing personal against the dog of course.

The landscapes are terrific, the dogs add quite a bit more. Very nice, I love the colors and light you captured. Composition is excellent IMO.

another great set Les, the skys are wonderful, love the colours.

Guess the model is very well trained (unlike my own who would be off like a shot)
