There is something unsettling about this. Like... Each dog stands out like a relief before its background. And then the dogs in the background do the same.
What do you mean? They are waiting for treats!
Treats? Very likely. :)
It's that optical effect. The high contrast. Those bright fluffy ears with the very thin dark line which separates the ear from the background/next dog. It looks like cut out and layered on top of each other to me. Even though the photo is real. Can't describe it better. 🤷♀️
I see... I guess it's the Google camera. Does lots of postprocessing. It is nice, but sometime too much.
Ah yes. That could be the reason. Thanks.
