Slave flash for fill.
Cute doggy just happened to want attention, so this is more of a candid than a posed shot, it just happened in the middle of the shoot and was too adorable.

Nice compostion. Beautiful colors. I love the softness as it make it feel very dreamy. Only critizism is the cropping...just a tad too much on top and bottom of image. Sad you lost the dogs foot and the top of her head. Otherwise...awesome image!
This really is a great photograph. I don't vote in challenges that I've entered, but if I had, I would have placed this a lot higher than most (certainly higher than my own). The soft tone of the image is really terrific - intimate and soothing. Great picture.
