I think that could be counted under low key photography. An very dramatic looking picture. She is a beautiful dog. Your photo dos her beauty justice. In my opinion the low shadow light with the few sun spot highlights as the dark background are an ideal choice. Best luck for the contest.
[ think it is typical for a Doberman to be basically friendly except when on the job. I know a Doberman just like her]

Maia is indeed a beautiful dog. Love the dark bg, the highlight on the eyes all so well focused and framed. I don't think I would want to meet Maia in a dark or daylight location unless invited as I am sure she was a great guard dog.

This is a brilliant photo. I love how the light sculpts the face Hard to do for most. Photo is excelleny in composition, contrast, focus and color.

Chit, this is good. It is so difficult to photograph a black dog in a dark situation, you pulled it off.
She is lit so well with the spattering of highlights on her head and snout, you just lost a little definition on her right ear but for god sake, it is not an issue. Her red collar just jazzes it up a bit, good contrast work.

Next is the freaking halo in the back ground is what makes everything pull together, excellent photography.

Comment from Bloomingdale


I love the way the backround is so dark and that the head of the dog looks almost 3D. And, you really captured the soul through her eyes.

Very dramatic shot of the doberman. Love the lighting and the luster of his coat. Clarity and composite are excellent.

A lovely capture of one of my favorite breeds. She is a bit awkward looking and the person who cropped her ears did not do her much of a favor as it is quite blunt. An unusual sight in europe these days at the practice is now outlawed in most places I believe. I like your lighting. By highlighting her face only it looks like a painting with her body fading out. I like the darkness...I tend to prefer my photos dark to a fault! Great shot!

A beautiful portrait of one of man's best friends. I like the way the dark background works with the dark subject. The lighting on him is just right.

Just lovely this shot. Maia has the look of a long suffering child gets when they have to pose for the camera when they really don't want to. I love the expression on her face and the intelligence that shines out of her eyes. A truly beautiful capture. Thank you for sharing,
