Leitrim Boy

  It's a beautifully shot portrait with excellent subject background separation. That separation suggests an open aperature and therefore a fast shutter speed - so the dog's leg couldn't have moved.
  I think the 'ghost' is the original position of the dog's tail and maybe this was too 'between it's legs' for the owner. Seem's a bit bizarre to edit it but maybe this was a 2nd version and the owner ended up going for the original print as the edit was too obvious.
  Also, I think it is an Irish wolfhound.

  RealitySoSubtle Nice analysis of the shot, I have to admit that I would not have seen what you see in the technical details so thank you. It is a very nice shot and study of the handler and dog. It is indeed an Irish Wolfhound which has been the traditional mascot of the IG's! I didn't realise that they were posted to Waterford and always assumed that, as a Guards Regiment, they were posted in Britain. You live and learn.

  You've mapped this at the old Artillery barracks, I think it is more likely the old Parade Ground at the Infantry barracks (since built on, also, too).

  Niall McAuley Done! Thank you... :)

  In 1917, the Irish Guards were certainly not posted to Waterford, they were up to their necks in it at the Western Front.
