Many thanks goes out to my 7 month old Shih Tzu, Lexie. She is a great model with an immense amount of patience. This is one of the few shots I got with her eyes open. I guess I was taking too long that she fell a sleep during the photo shot. I really love this shot and I hope everyone else does too.
POST: Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I really loved this photo and my puppy did well. You won't be seeing her any time soon because I unfortunately trimmed her bangs and now she doesn't look so good. I am very happy with my first personal best. There are sooooo many great photos out there. Especially the B/W ones. I debated about doing this one in B/W but really loved the warm glow of the color. Thank you!

As a beginner I am having a wonderful time looking at truly remarkable photo's. This photograph is certainly a beauty. Having bought the same camera as you have, I can only hope that some day I can become half the photographer that you are.
Amazing pet portrait, I gave it a 7 during voting, love the pose and the dogs expression is priceless!!! Like..."okay are we done yet??" Fantastic capture!!!
Woohoo!! Top 20!!! Great finish in this large challenge! A real stand-out image with a lots of character and strong emotion. You should be very proud of this one! My favorite in this challenge!
Such a nice low key photo! The mood fits the low key theme. Great blacks and warm colors in the dog with good details and composition. Very artistic and appealing. A winner for sure!
not too many animal photos in low light turn out well, but this is definitely an exception to the rule. I love the golden look, the light in the eyes, a really nice photo... beautiful pet also :) 10
