[Leica] Of dogs and bokeh balls

[Philippe]

The second one is better Peter. Just adjust the WB so that the light doesn’t look so « cold » in the foregrHound.

OTT: I would have liked you to post a photo of self lying on the carpet when you took these - didn’t your wife have her phone with her then?
