Sibley at the deck railing

Studio 26, assignment on low graphic style

I don't think black dogs lend themselves to this style, & Flat-Coats, even in their calm moods do not give an impression of passivity. But here are the low graphic elements influencing this portrait:

 

--50 mm. lens

--square frame, with subject central

-- monochrome, with muted tones in a low-contrast conversion

--repetition of squares in background deck railing (which railing usually drives me crazy as background, as it interferes with the view :-)
