Outstanding!
Never heard of or seen a long hair Akita. The face looks very much like a Chow with all the hair. As a matter of fact a lot of it looks like a Chow gone wrong.
Day #3
Man, it was cold this morning!! Had a great sunny day though even with numb fingers.
I have a ton of Osprey shots but the Bald Eagle, even though he showed up, did not turn out as I hoped. He was just too far away.

Day #5
Tried to get some portraits of a few of the cats at work today. None were cooperative but I did get this image and figured I could work with it.
I am not sure which I like best. All are using the same photo with different treatments and some smudging on that one image.
This is Lucy. She is a sweet long hair tabby. Grey with some white on her chest.

Again, at work today so no motivation or opportunity to go shoot at my leisure. Here is another pet portrait.
This is Kuma, a Long Hair Akita, and a sweet old teddy bear. He looks like a water heater with legs.

Thank you Bill. I have to say though that I may have to skip out on this thread for a few days. My shoulder is worse and the pain is just too much to sit here and use the computer. I don't want to just snap a shot for the sake of this thread. I wanted it to be a real effort. I have an appointment for Thursday at the VA clinic to have this looked at.
