A nice dog and a wonderful pic! I did not know a dog's facial expression could be so rich.

This is one from a storyboard series of images that I took at an event called Dock Dogs, held at the Bath & West agricultural show which I was visiting. The idea is that you (the owner) stand at the back of a raised platform and throw a rubber toy into a 40ft long pool, then send your water-loving mutt after it. This is Murphy, a springer spaniel, who eventually took third place with a leap of 15ft 9in! (despite his expression, he couldn't get enough of it, but maybe the water was a tad cold )

That expression is priceless

This is far from a great picture technically, but fits the salon theme, I think.

I had just gone on this fairgound ride, which shoots you into the air about 60 mph. The rest of my family refused to go on. However, when I came off I persuaded my wife and son it was actually great fun and they would enjoy it, I managed to capture this as they lifted-off!

They still haven't forgiven me .

Thanks Gina. I know it looks like a montage, but it is "As Is" just as I took it with my little Panny DMC FX01.

A really unusual image Audrey, I like it.

I had be photographing some baubles in Next and when I downloaded the pictures, I was SURPRISED to see various images lurking in the background.

I may use this for a club competition coming up shortly - "Abstract."

Not allowed upstairs? Me?

Sam just can't believe that she is not allowed in the bedroom!

I don't know who was more surprised, the dog seeing our new kitten or the kitten seeing the dog!
Was taken a while ago before I knew how to compose a picture properly so realise it has problems,
but think it's apt for this salon.

Re: DPNow Salon competition No.55 - SURPRISE!

Ian, its a photo I took in Florence - Italy, of the Door of Paradise crafted by Lorenzo Ghiberty! The Baptistry of the Duomo (Cathedral) The panels apparently took 27 years to create, between 1425 & 1452. The scenes depict stories from the bible. The shot I used for the salon was unfortunately only a partial section of the panel, as there were so many tourists crowding around the door, it was very difficult to get any really great photos of the entire scenes! This scene was of Moses receiving the 10 commandments, his people congregating below, which is the crowd scene I have used! The pair of doors are absolutely awesome & breathtaking in their artistry & craftmanship! I wull download a couple of other shots taken of the door in my gallery, so those interested can have a peek!
In my salon shot, I have selectively altered the outer crowd to a line or graphic pen scene, then created more focus on the middle crowd, using desaturation & aging filter, then placed a lighting effect on the immediate area of focus required, the surprized boy etc!
