FRAMES: Photo Challenge #95: Pets STAND-OUTS

Nice work on the pets themed photo challenge!

It was so nice to see so many different shooting styles and furry friends plus one reptile showcased.

Remember there aren’t any winners of losers, I just pick a few photos and ramble on about why they “stand-out” from the others.

The following six photos will be published in the Sunday, December 13th. issue of the Kitsap Sun:

Pluto The Majestic Pug by Rebecca Fackrell I have to admit that I have never used the word majestic to describe a pug, but this frame of Pluto here has made me a believer in the majestical qualities of the breed. The light and how the red halter just pops out of the image against the greens is just lovely. But the truly important part of the image is in fact Pluto and that perfect distinguished pose atop a tree stump right there in the center of the frame.

Jetta by Deena Alley I love the exposure of this image by Deena and how the eyes and white fur of this feline pop right out of the frame while the black fur just blends right into the background of the image. It's a beautiful shot.

Gimmee That by Olesja Lapteva I love the body language of this photo with one dog all nonchalant holding on to the toy while the other dog makes a grab for it. I also really like the composition of placing the dogs in the center with just a sea of grass filling in the frame.

You Don't Smell Like A Puppy by Teresa Hull The wide-eyed slightly confused look of the canine poking into the frame to sniff the "other puppy" and the youngster's facial expression are just perfect! It is an excellent moment captured with a lovely composition.

The Eye of Taz by Kent Ferris The colors and crispness of this frame are just stunning! It's also one of those detail shots that one doesn't necessarily need a title to know what the close-up photo subject matter is.

Peaceful Coexistence by Steve Johnson I was kind of bummed that I didn't get to see more images of dogs and cats being friends. You know with all the negative news in the world these last few weeks a few pics of dogs snuggling cats would make anyone's day a little brighter. But let's face it, this adorable shot of Steve's with two kittens warily watching the snoozing pup with plenty of room between them and the pup is a bit more true to life. It's a lovely frame that maybe tells a cute story of a house (or couch) divided.
