I think I get your style now.

An almost painterly produced subject with a subtle background to accentuate the foreground detail; plus a warmth that belies the subject matter.

How did I do?

I'd say malt time came early today. :)

you're too poetic in the morning.

I would agree if was not for the boss;) The likelihood of me indulging before the sun was over the yardarm are very high indeed.

However, the poetic nature is better known as engaging the mouth/typing before the brain or more accurately "bulls*** artist":D

But; the comments are as I see it so, still like the picture.

Way back when this sort of thing paid my wages. "Crufts" 2006. Published worldwide in specialist magazines etc..

Specifically asked for images showing happy owner/handlers interacting with their beasties. This fitted the bill.

ps: very saleable I would think.

Cheers Sharkey but I think you give me too much credit - I'd love to have a style (any style for that matter)! Really appreciate that you think it would have commercial value - coming from someone with your experience is really encouraging.

Really am enamoured of this.

Perhaps even more cropping?

Lovely colours and a well-imagined creation.

Zion? Where is 'this' Zion and how did the name come about?

Definitely a style.

If you don't know what that style is it would be a good idea to make a really clear note of how you are producing your images so that it will not be lost.

Over the years mine and the markets tastes/style have changed many times and I would give a lot to be able to remember how and why I produced a particular image as I did. Too many jobs, not enough brain.

This Zion is a National Park .Located in southwestern Utah , in the U.S.A.

Vast amounts of information here:
https://www.nps.gov/zion/index.htm

and here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zion_National_Park

The name came about because it was easier to pronounce (and spell) than Mukuntuweap . (seriously)
It's (Zion) also what the local Mormon settlers called the area .

Looks like a fantastic place. I first found out about it through a Large Format photographer on Youtube called Ben Horne. I really like his videos. Not so much instructional, but more about the experience. Seems like a nice relaxed kinda guy. Some folk have moaned about his videos being slow-paced, but I don't really find this to be the case.

He knows Zion inside-out as well. Worth watching.
