Look at the eyes on that guy. His demeanour looks almost regal and I sense some Papillon? How big is he?

Whatever he is, he is a miracle of a dog, a combination that would be great to figure out and breed specifically. Humane Society pups really are the best, aren't they?

Wonderful portrait and I wish I had been able to vote. Should have scored higher but that often happens...

"Anyone want to venture what different breeds may have contributed to this crazy guy?"

- at first he looked a little like another dog I had viewed in this Challenge, an 'Icelandic Sheep Dog', by djonson: ....I'd never heard of an Icelandic Sheep Dog, but then there was another, by unneva:

Otherwise, a few 'guesses' might be perhaps a corgi/fox terrier mix (especially because of those big ears), it is a little difficult to guage his size from the image, but perhaps a papillon was involved, long-haired chihuahua, who knows. One thing is for sure, this is a lovely looking dog with a cute face and a 'fine set of ears' now captured in a fine photograph. Best of all, he now has a home.

I really like this one too. He looks so soft and fluffy. It makes me want a dog. Oh yeh and your photography was amazing also :)

There's always unfair results around... Shots like this should be at first places instead of these creating the poor front page of this week.

My first comment was going to be this: "I like the colors but they are far oversaturated in my opinion."

By the time I wrote that however, my opinion changed. I still think the colors are oversaturated but it works well here. There is a surreal look and feel to this shot that is enjoyable.

I like the leading lines created by the water as well as the silhouetted trees in the distance.

This would have been my number one, had I been able to vote (need to fork out one of these days). Fantastic!

This is a great shot. How do we train people to understand that there's nothing wrong with this shot? Rules, rules, rules...

This has a lot of weight. Serious portraiture and serious art.
