Very nicely done! I might try dodging out all the remaining gray above Jack's head; it's a wee bit distracting, especially the bit near the top of the pic that seems to cut off sharply.
TERRY!! This is fab. The narrow DOF and the overall softness is excellent! Silky lovers would love this on a calendar for sure! The eyes just pierce right through you.
nice post processing.
it really makes the shot.
but with the dog and pose, I'm sure straight out of the camera was pretty good just on it's own.
very nice.
edit-I thought I had better stick the "y" on the end of "reall" - I'm just anal like that!
