'Buddies'

I just couldn't resist taking this one. These two were just too cute for passing by them. Dogs can be inspiring and full of love. It is why people love them so much. I saw these two fellows checking what's behind each other and it immediately made me think of them guarding each other's backs. So, no way I was losing this very "buddies" moment. Perfect moments are really hard to catch when photographing animals. They don't care enough if looking good or bad. :D

The photograph has a worn-out look from the seventies, with all colours partially desaturated and washed out. This is especially visible in the blue part. It very much fits the look of the dogs and the natural colour of their furs. If you look more carefully, you'll notice one more totally cool thing. Check out the dog's colours. Can you see that their colours are almost fully reciprocal? The little dog is white with some orange on its head while the big one is orange with a bit of white on its chest. Once this is realized, the image acquires another humorous dimension one cannot neglect. Not to mention that the tree has a similar white shape on its bark but maybe that's only my imagination. If it's not a far cry, depends on yours! ;)

The shadows in the background define the pleasant afternoon mood. Together with the dark frame vignette, they add to the overall joyous feeling. Sunlight is not very strong, meaning that the sun was partially behind a cloud and therefore we have only a moderate contrast. Good moment lighting-wise just a well.

I generally do not like seeing dogs on leashes or any other animal in captivity for that matter but such is life. Cannot always get what you want!

Enjoy!
