 Daisy here (or Princess Big Delores if we use her Kennel Club name) is by far the most love-obsessed dog I have ever had. This image captures her cheerful and attentive manner pretty well.

Shot with my 85mm f/1.2L II.

I have had this image as my phone lock screen since she died - so I still see her every day.

so i have checked out your Daisy .. and i'm so sorry for your loss ...
this one would have to be my fav tho .. even over the autumn one ..
not just that i'm a great lover of black and white .. but because of her expression ..
you have most definitely created an image with such character .. i love her expression like i said .. but also the sand on her face .. its real life ..
oh .. and btw .. the dof is delicious .. !! .. :)
i can see this one printed for sure .. not just by you .. if any pug lovers saw this i think they may steal it .. !! ..
