Your subject is beautifully sharp, and that makes a big difference.
While I wish the nose didn't touch the edge of the frame, the
remainder of the image is just excellent.

Among so many fine dog portraits, this one seems to stand out just a bit further in revealing the dog. Mostly to do with the way the amber eyes are surrounded by such an expanse of darkening brown. Background perfect of course for the dog. (If I see another picture as good as this one of these soulful hounds I may have to break down and get one. 130 shots worth it).

Wonderful picture, one of my top votes. A little extra focus on the snout would have made this perfect.

Lovely image...the detail in and around the eyes is really nice...but, you cut off Rosebud's nose!

Great shot (and from my home state of NY - YAY!!!)! So full of fun stuff to look at. Wonderful contrast and great b&w conversion. This well composed real life shot gets high marks from me and adding to favorites.

That is a great shot. the fur is so detailed on the snout. I love that its on a pure white background.

One of very few pet shots I like. I'm not a pet shot person because I don't think many have the talent to get there kind of pets in the right kind of composition...you did a wonderful job, and so did the model. 9
