Without photoshopping, I don't know how I would have darkened the background, although that would have separated Eirik's body from the fence better. When I learn the camera better, I might choose a wider aperture, but at the wide angle view that was used, even that would have little effect, I think, on the depth of field. I prefer not to use photoshop to make those sort of manipulations. I am thankful that Eirik is not a dog that does the sloppy kiss routine. In fact, he is not much of a kisser, preferring just to taste the salt of perspiration on my arms. I try to keep that activity to a minimum also. Eirik and my long-haired calico are quite accepting of each other, by the way. Stephen
