AMENDED: There was one smiling profile in the 80+ shots I took this morning. Here’s how it looks in the ad. We ARE going to choose between these two because I must do something besides play with Photoshop Elements (like toenails and vacuuming)
We went out for another photo shoot this morning. A man was throwing a ball for his dog — back and forth — during the entire time Chase sat on his tree root. This dog has a rock solid “stay”! So, here’s what we got. There were no “smiling” photos because things were pretty serious with that dog running in front of Chase. Thanks for the suggestions — ‘specially Emily and Mandy.
I like this one, alert, front better, no sun in the eyes and not too busy 🙂
I like both of these, but emotionally I react to the first one more.
Happy 4th of July Penni!
I like both these SOOO much better than the previous ones! Yea! Expression I like the 1st one more, but pose, and conformation-looks I like the second better. I really can’t choose a favorite between these two- they’re a tie for me. I’ll think on it though, and I’m sure others will have better opinions than I do!
These photos are better lighting/quality than the previous ones, and he’s posed much better in these ones than the previous ones.
I really like the top one better because he is looking at your ad copy, which kinda makes the reader look at it too…if that makes sense. I also like it because he is smiling 🙂
The first one is definitely my favorite. More complimentary of Chase and the whole thing works much better as a unit.
The second one looks like there was a scenic backdrop and a separate photo of the dog was dropped in. First one looks like he’s actually looking down the road, ready for the adventures ahead.
Whew…big journey for the Chase Man!
I like the first one best too – a happy dog is much more appealing to me 🙂 Nice ads tho, Penni – I hope he enjoys his adventures… and I hope you can stand the torture of being away from him for that long!
Penni:
I’ll have to agree with Mandy, I like the one with Chase looking straight out at you gripping the tree with his front legs. He is alert, projects strength, determination and pride -plus it’s a very unique pose, never seen anything like it.
We have seen plenty of head shots of other dogs this one makes you want to see more of Chase.
That’s a long time to be away?

I’d change material on rucksack-union flag, confederate flag-go to a red bandana? (probably to late to add my two cents). Don’t like US flag grumbled up and on the ground.
Several people commented on the “flag” rucksack. I want to assure all of you that while the design contains stars and bars, it is not a US flag. In my opinion, the flag has only one purpose and that does not include being a rucksack or a T-shirt or a beach towel.
