I must say, I prefer Q non HDR'd. I love his pretty eyes.

yeah... jury is still out with me... there's different HDR settings to play with - some more 'natural' than others. But natural Q is always good

 

[dax0402]

Gorgeous!

 

[maggiemay]

natural Q gets my vote!

The whiskers show up too much in HDR

 

[dobermansrule]

HDR looks blotchy and overdone, actually less definition.

On the other hand your sensitive side is very attractive

HDR allows artistic effects, you know, like your girly underwear you like to model....

and thank you.

I'm going to have to agree on this one. I don't care for the HDR of Q. And I like the flowers. Are they Lily Of The Valley, or am I completely off on my botany?

yeah - I was giving WHAP a hard time... there are other HDR setting that would look better. But I like the non HDR as well.

the flowers... not sure what they call them.. whoever landscaped our neighborhood bought out the nursery of these bushes...

HDR reminds me of an oil painting. I prefer the non-HDR Q as well. The flowers are lovely.

I wonder what the pic would look like if it was grey and white? Or sepia? I think Q looks great in any medium (is that the terminology??)

 

[dobermansrule]

Well if you would spend a few bucks for a real model I wouldn't have to help you out so often.

well, truth be known, you've gotten quite good.

Lily of the Valley looks more like this:

I'm thinking the bushes may be Leucothoe axillaris

If so, tell Q to stay away from them. Their common name is "dog-hobble". I have no idea why.

interesting.... he doesn't seem interested in them at all. That's good I guess

Yeah--I just looked in the ASPCA website. It has this to say:

"Dog Hobble

Smart Q!

wow - this ****e is all over the place here. Like landscaping 101 around here.

 

[tuxedojack]

Beautiful!

 

[dobermansrule]

Antique

Could you please post larger files, these don't quite yet fill my large screen monitor.

absolutely!! I love larger pics and nice effect

 

[Rosemary]

Thanks, melbrod. Obviously, I don't know my botany.

 

[melbrod]

Well, the flowers do look similar.

I do think that whoever does these landscaping things should pay attention to more than a plant's looks, though--like whether or not the plant is extremely poisonous, for example.
