In photography, your eye naturally goes to the brightest part of the image first when viewing a photo.  In the blog image, don’t you first look at the head of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and then let your eye roam around the rest of the scene?  This particular handler dressed perfectly to showcase this dog.  Her monotone darker color from the waist down absolutely causes your eye to focus on the dog, not on the handler.  As it should be.  I would think that handlers want the judge to focus on the dog, not on them, but sometimes their attire speaks otherwise.  Flashy dressing in the show ring only distracts the eye away from the dog.  I think it would be wise for handlers to take a look at photographs of themselves with their dogs in the ring to see what the judge sees.  It might cause them to rethink their clothing selection and it could even encourage more wins!  [At least this is my opinion!]  I love the movement in the blog image….the handler’s skirt and the dog’s fur as they are coming “right into your living room” as David Frei would say!  🙂
