"This is such a gorgeous portrait - the photographer has
got so much right here. Let's start with that low angle of view - getting down on the same level of your subject is important to create a connection with the viewer. It also helps to maximise the distance between the subject and the background and foreground areas, helping to isolate the subject using depth of filed. The wide open aperture and the long focal length has created a delicious shallow depth of field that has ensured all our attention is on the subject, and those background and foreground areas support and not distract. I really love the complimentary tones of the background - they really help to bring out the colour of the dog's fur. Splendid!"
