Dog Fiesta
Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 1 June 2007 in Animal & Insect.
I thought of playing around a bit in photoshop and get some images together, rahter than posting one at a time. Here is the best i could do in 20 mins before the posting time today Haha...
I am enjoying learning photoshop though. LOL
Melina from Malaysia
Great Idea! This is a very eye-catching moment for dog series. BTW Is that bitting competition? who win at last?

@Melina: Thanks Melina, it was a "Tug Of War" for the piece of towel, and those were K-9 police dogs, the game was a draw as none did let go the towel. :-)
@badala: Thanks Badala. :) I am glad you liked it.
celialee from Japan
Yeah, who won? :)
Aw dogs....such cuties - love them. But my favourite German Shepherd isn't there?

@celialee: Thanks Pal, and i shall soon put up the portrait of your fav dog. ;-) No one won that tug of war, as both didn;t let go of the towel. Colgate teeths and jaws probably. LOL!!
@Kiran Nair: Thanks Kiran.
kairospix from Singapore, Singapore
wonderful capture of dogs having a challenge with each other!
can feel the energy between the two!
the bottom right dog looks so sad...did he miss his turn at the tussle?:)

@kairospix: Thanks bro, the bottom right dog was picking up a bottle form the water. Its a rescue dog. It was just coming out of water when i shot him, as he was looking at me and wondering what am i holding in my hands.
@Candace: Thanks Candace.
@Jen: Thanks Jen.
Dave from United Kingdom
This is just the sort of thing that would make great greeting cards. Ever thought of going down the art and crafts route? Could be a good way of making your hobby pay for itself.

@Dave: Thanks Dave, i have lots of beautiful pics, but nothing compared to your's master. Show me the way and i would love to consider it. Its wonderful if the hobby can pay for itself. ;-)
Amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
NICE JOB!! Like how you did this triptych... very creative Rahul!!! ;-)

@Amy: Thanks Amy, its not really a triptych as there are more than three ppics here hehe... I just took the tussle pic and made it like a large poster and then took some individual cropped pics and distorted or skewed them in individual layers. The combination is what you see here. ;-) Am learning PS in full swing now, so you will notice some wierd and unusal processings on my blog LOL!!
@Levine: Thanks LEvine. :)
Shrig from Edison, United States

I personally am no big fan of dogs (look at those teeth!), but your photography potrays them as friendly, fun-loving creatures - Wow!

@astrise: Thanks Astrise, dogs are fun-loving creatures who are contented with very little rewards and what they can do for it - well, wait and see my next pic on monday. :-)
