Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

the monster puppy.. okay he is about 8 months old now and seeing as I've found my way back here I thought I should show you all a few pics of him as he has grown over the last 6 months..

Btw 'Arthur' is my Blue Heeler (Blue Cattle Dog).. a royal pain in the butt but adorable all the same.. :)

He just arrived here...

Image

Image

Here he is a couple of months later... growing fast!

Image

I couldn't help myself when I bought the wide angle lens lol..

Image

and taken last weekend.. he still has some growing to do but I can't believe how much he has grown in just a few short months!

Image
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Wow, he did grow up quickly! I love the wideangle shot, something about dogs and wide angles....

Great shots of a great character Sue! Must try the wide angle trick with Toby - if I can ever get him to hold still long enough. Jack Russells are living proof that dogs can have A.D.D.

Great photos Bindii!
They are all great but I just LOVE the 4th one, the eye contact and DOF is amazing...I think this would look awesome as a nice canvas print. They're all great and they definitely are asking to be printed and hung/framed in some format..I think it'd be a crime not to do that actually. Cheers.
