    Chow Chow Portrait

    A picture of my Chow Chow, Chi-Ching. I have been playing with my new SB600.... How did I do?

    Looks great Chow. The main thing that captured my eye was the dog's eye in perfect focus. It sort of looks like everything else is blurred which also enhances the eyes.
    Was this bounced with your SB-600?

    Really nice! I agree with xsport about the eyes being nice and sharp, and the rest being more blurred. It helps that she/he is a fluffy dog.

    I think the technique is very effective. The eyes are indeed crystal sharp. I think a little sharpness around the nose and part of the fur in the front would not have hurt though.

    Chow this is a really sweet look from Chi. The only thing I would recommend is a bump in the contrast/brightness to adjust for the dimness of the indoors and diminish the background even further. Great job!
