Oscar the Grouch has nothing on Buster!

This week Buster continues with our theme of where dogs shouldn't be - and landed himself in a garbage can.
Thanks to my parents for letting me use their garbage can (theirs is much prettier than mine)...they fed me and Buster - and then I put him in the garbage can for photos ;)

I was debating for my final selection between sweet - and crazy...I of course chose crazy! I can't help myself, but laugh when Buster makes these ridiculous faces, and although composition wise, it is not the best of the bunch, it again makes up for it in personality.

The main thing that really bugs me about this photo is the reflection in the garbage can of my sexy white sports socks (with gray toes), and my jeans. I tried using the spot remover in LR to heal or clone it out with no good results...grrrr. I know this could have been avoided with using a longer lens - but I didn't want to be too far away from Buster in the event he tried to hop out (as I didn't want him to hurt his legs). I was also thinking that it may be a 'neat effect' if I was also in the reflection on the can in some of the shots.

You never know when Buster the Grouch may be living in your garbage can, so open with caution.

As usual, my 'rejects' can be seen in my practice set - and let me tell you, convex surfaces are not flattering to ones reflection :(
