From Denny: Today's post is all about our perception of noses: our dog's noses, our cat's noses, our noses of attraction and noses of battle, noses sleeping and noses saying, "I'm guilty as charged!"
Have you ever noticed when an insect lands on our nose or someone gets too close our eyes try to focus on it so much we look, well, ridiculous? It's funny how a cocked head and a slightly wrinkled and upturned nose can give away our guilt, whether we are a cat who ate the tuna or a person. The sleeping noses of dogs are favs with photographers for that exaggerated focus. Dogs are so accommodating even when we tease them about their noses.
Even included a silly photo I played with in PhotoShop of my golden tiger cat Curty Cartier when I wanted his usual sweet self to look more scary for a Halloween photo. Our pets can be so accommodating when it comes to taking photos of them... :) Take a look at how fellow photographers view their world from their nose perspective.
