This is a nice portrait of your dog, albeit a duotone. Why not make it a black & white? It's just as nice that way. Sure, it's a petty point to make, but B&W is the only stipulation this week.
I really like this one and am back to bump it up, very expressive face and lovely tones on his coat. The light area above him almost looks like he has a halo or a glow behind him, either way I find it works well, very serene.
I love this photo. Great shot. I might suggest a little more crop (down just to above his head) as the bright spot behind his head detracts just a little from the subject. 9.
