This portrait is a picture of my dog named Seven. Seven means so much to me. He is my best friend. He is the only person that always forgives me when I mess up and loves me unconditionally through anything. He is always by my side and what every obstacles I encounter, I know I have him. I chose to take this picture with grass in the background because it wasn’t distracting and it made is so the viewer would look at his face. I did have to crop and frame it a little better, but it all worked out. I also liked this environment because it was out in nature where dogs should be. I had a lot of trouble taking this photo, first of all he is a dog with a mind of his own who didn’t want to stand still. I also had trouble finding a spot with good lighting because there was a lot of shade in my yard. When I found a this spot that had really good lighting and wasn’t distracting, it made me feel so good.
