The first image I open and already one I enjoy! Excellently focused, great DOF and color. I don't like the obvious umbrella reflections, though and a slightly lower (I know, that's not easy) POV would have been even better.

Love the eye contact you've captured. (It was something I could never get with Bailey. The moment I brought the camera out she would always look away and never at the camera. It was almost like she thought a photo would steal a part of her spirit.)

I enjoy reading about the studies that inform us of the many feelings we don't normally give dogs credit for. It has changed how I look at photos of our darling companions. Yes, the technical aspects of this shot are amazing, especially given the constraints you had to shoot under. But on to what I consider more important.
The expression in Aloha's eyes are endearing - what adds to it is the way she is holding her ears - slightly puzzled and the color of her 'eyebrows' make them appear to be risen up as if questioning what it is you are doing. Her droopy lips lack any energy so I think she is slightly peeved with you .. her overall expression is sad - anthropomorphism is one of my failings :) It also makes me a complete push-over for the four legged friends who rule my home. I just want to give her a lovely crispy bone.
