Okay, so this Bulldog’s name is probably NOT Fang!  At least I hope it isn’t!  🙂   I was ringside near the Bulldog judging at The National Dog Show and saw this sweetie-pie relaxing on a pretty striped blanket.  An important thing to keep in mind when photographing ANYTHING [dogs, people, you-name-it!]  is to carefully select the background for your subject.  As soon as I saw this scene I knew that I wanted to shoot down to create an image of the dog surrounded by the out-of-focus striped blanket.  It took a little wrangling by the owner to keep “Fang” from lying down, but we got the shot!  And a cute shot it is, don’t you think?  In every image, “Fang” is sticking out his/her tongue at me as if to say, “Phooey on this creativity nonsense, just let me nap!”
