Ziti is a Basenji mix the shelter told us was found in a dumpster outside an apartment complex. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "fine picture" but it's one of my favorites of her taken with my trusty D70s. I would be lying if I said it captured her personality entirely. She likes to stand on her head, so most of her personality pictures have a better view of her tail. This is my equivalent of the school picture with the kid all dressed up and captured in that brief moment between escapades. Somehow my post processing skills have failed me on this one, I have tried making more colorful, making it black and white, making it more or less contrasty, and this is the closest thing to satisfactory I could come up with. I'm still not happy with it, but I'm out of ideas. If anyone would like to play with it, the NEF is in http://home.earthlink.net/~cevermillion/images/Ziti/
Santa brought me a D300 with a beautiful VR 18-200 lens, so I'm afraid she and the cats are going to spend their holidays hounded by paparazzi
