Unusual to see a sunburst coming out of a dog's cheek, but kind of fun, especially in conjunction with such a serious expression.

Beautifully done and I agree, the eyes are captured perfectly.

so cool. Possible a crop from the sides would have made the trees taller, but that light is awesome. I hope he can still hear after all that. 8

Comment by mcaldo:
I like the idea. The pose of the arms, when coupled with her expression, looks a bit unnatural to me. An offer, as the outstreched arms might suggest, would work better if she was looking towards the camera. But her face suggests a reflessive pose, which perhaps would wwork better if the arms were not that outstretched, at least for me.

those eyes are painful. I know it's hard to say good-bye but sometimes you have to turn away a little bit. let her look at someone else.

Such a nice image. Having seen your outtake, I am uncertain whether there is a clear winner. Both have their merits and both are wonderful portraits.
