I know, I commented on this earlier -- but I just love the look on that dog's face. So cold and miserable, yet the eyes: They're awesome!

Thanks very, Sandy. Kind of messed up the post processing, in a hurry and unskilled; whatever merits are the dog's.

For me? I always notice the eyes first in a photo like this. And what I see is such incredible devotion and such a connection between the dog and his owner. Photos like this touch me very much.

I missed this during the voting because I didn't have time to finish voting in the diagonal challenge -- but in my opinion, this photo is very underrated!

Keep up the good work! I hope next time you are rewarded more appropriately for your good work :)

Cute image. Exposure could be much better.

Anyone else too quickly drawn to the bottom center of this image?

Nice line; if you could get him to point his nose toward the upper left corner of the frame it would be even better.
