Dog Blog Post #595: I considered holding off today's shots until Valentine's Day, but where's the fun in that?

Gee, what a surprise, eh?

With hearts and coats of gold, they were just made for the love we all hope for on Valentine's Day.

The backdrop, pink fabric, and red rose are new for the day - the white purchased some time ago. The candy box is from a few years ago, and was too pretty to throw away after the chocolates were gone. The ribbon around Zachary's neck came came from a present, and was also too pretty to throw away. It's really ribbon, not that nasty stiff stuff, and was knotted to just the right size. All I had to do was slip it over a willing dog's neck. The heart pendant (dangling from the ribbon around Zachary's neck) was picked up for a song over the summer.

I'm not sure pink becomes the boys, and I had a heck of time trying to color correct as the lighting was from a north facing window (straight left), a pair of CFL's (one on each side), an incandescent (above and behind camera on the left) -plus- a bounced flash.

Did I mention I had a check of a time trying to color correct?

Editor's Note: So I changed the blog from anyone being able to comment to only those registered (or something like that - it eliminates "anonymous" users) and I have received no spam since then. Let's hope it stays that way!
