Admiring the sunset · 10:35 PM

Hi Guys,
Here is a picture I took for the latest Pentax Australia contest (Negative Space). Hope you like it, and a link to it on 500px 500px / Admiring the sunset by Harry Smiles

FANTASTIC silhouette!, Very well executed.

Yeah, this is a really great silhouette. Hope you've got a model release he might recognise himself.

Is that a greyhound?

He's a whippet, they are pretty much just a half size grey hound. Awesome dogs!

Great capture.

Nice shot. He was a good dog to pose for you like that. Well done.

I just googled the breed and it looks like someone zapped a greyhound with a miniaturize ray. Those are cool, I had a greyhound/vizsla mix who was my running buddy in high school, my mom still has him but he is getting older now.

There is a rabbit warren where he's looking. He goes and sits on the big round hay bales all the time to keep an eye out for them. If he sees one he launches off the bale and charges at them. He never gets there in time, its about 80 yards to them but he seems to love it.

We have a friend with Italian Greyhounds, which are about half the size again, there are hilarious, the are just crazy nippy.

Some images just work for me and to hell with all the technical details. This is one of them.
Thanks for posting.
