these two dogs are so special, both came to us in a terrible condition and some of you know the story from a v2 picture with my last poppy image. Zak the large one was dumped at 12 mths old with every bone in his body showing - too weak to lift off the floor, and Sammy came later and had been left for dead in the local woods and had too many broken bones to mention including his nose. He had no fur and fleas in the ears... terrible state. After much tlc they now enjoy a comfy bed and a good run twice a day in the fields. This field was just a couple of fields away from our home and was a joy to see and visit.
Hope you have a lovely weekend everyone

Such a beautiful image of these two special dogs. Love the colour and the light here

A wonderful shot with a wonderful story attached to it Linda! You are so very lucky to have locations like this on your doorstep! I think I am going to miss 'poppy season!'
With this particular shot Linda I think the framing needs to be of a more neutral colour as there is so much obvious red in the shot and though it binds the picture with the frame I feel it is just a little to much.
Nothing wrong with the picture at all - it is lovely.... just the frame aethetics.

they look as though they have had a great time Linda, a lovely image,
Chris.
The combination of the glorious field of poppies and the two gorgeous dogs is absolutely stunning, and so beautifully composed. Either frame works for me.
Beautiful ,love the composition and the colours are stunning well done
Craig
Poppies with a difference, the dogs add so much to this already beautiful scene, big thumbs up from all in my sitting-room, Adrian
Lovely shot, and like the presentation best on V1.

V1 works better for me against the black background - I actually find the grey more distracting. The most unusual poppies shot I've seen, and really delightful.
Moira
A beautiful capture and two lovely dogs. V1 is my choice, the framing ties in with the image.
Christine
Healthy looking dogs in an awesome location, superb capture, regards
superb work Linda beautiful presentations it is lovely to know that out there some people who really do care and the tlc you have given these beautiful dogs is a credit to you and I am sure the dogs appreciate you very much as you so very much deserve.
Neil
This works so well with the poppy field, and the furrows give superb DOF, Linda.
Dave
cracking dof in this Linda...if I am honest would prefer without the dogs - think the poppy's are worthy of their own shot as are the dogs!!
Absolutely stunning images, great composition and colours and I like the presentation as well .
Hugh
I'll bet this was a devil to get such good exposure in what looks like very bright sunny conditions, I appreciate the expertise involved here, well done Linda, re the frame I favour V1,
Geoff.
Many thanks everyone for the terrific response to this one, and the comments left mean a lot to me. My dogs are very special, and I love the nature and surroundings of our home, with events such as this poppy field to keep me happy. I never stop thanking my lucky stars for the little things which make life happy.
Enjoy your day
Linda
