If it was my choice, I'd pick #3. So much character comes through in that shot! It also has good shadowing, good contrast and fantastic expression. (If you find the shadows or any thing else distracting, use a photo program to "crop" the shot down a bit.)

Very very cute pup!

I too like# 3 the best. The shadow doesn't bother me but the foot is distracting. The foot draws my eye away from PC the shadow does not. Since the foot is on the edge could you crop it out?

I wanted to do a pic and the shipping/handling bites; $14.95! Alas, even with that cost in mind, it probably is cheaper than other places for canvas photos.
Canvas is very expensive, which is why I haven't ordered til now. I really just want to see the quality for the future, especially for when my sister has her baby.

I really need to install Photoshop on my Mac already. I had it on the PC but not here yet.

I was thinking of cropping out the foot, but his entire shadow is still there. Maybe once I upload to their site, I can select that only his face/body shows.

When you do order, can you post a pic up of the actual canvas order? I'd like to see how it comes out!
Think this is a great idea for hubby for bday in August.

I'll definitely post pictures when I get it. You should see what my husband is getting for father's day, I ordered prints yesterday! This is what happens when you have no human kids yet!

So it appears I can't find the original size of the last picture. That was taken when I had my PC, now I have a Mac and I guess I didn't transfer everything over. I have huge files of the first 2, but must have deleted the folder with the original size of that pic. All I have is small sizes on Flickr, and that's not fit to print. So I think I'm going with the 1st.

I don't think I can even choose, I love 'em all. I would have to say whichever one you believe really shows PC's true personality.

There's NO WAY to pick just one. NO WAY.
When I saw the first one, I said #1.
Then I saw the second one.
Then the third.
If a gun was pressed to my head, it would STILL be a toss-up between 1 and 3.
Fine, I'll pick #1.

The 3rd one, but I can't find the original size! He's always that happy, especially on the beach!

You wouldn't believe how many pictures I had to take to get a decent one. I'm still not exactly happy with the first, but out of 232 (yup, that many), I got about 20 decent but not great ones. Between the lighting in my place (nonexistent) and PC not cooperating, moving, etc., it's next to impossible! Much easier to take candid shots outdoors!

My thought exactly; we think alike, you and me! And then MAK said she doesn't have any more room for more PC pics!

We just need a bigger place, that's all!
