 Taken in the backyard using early morning sunshine and a flash for lighting. Tried to pick a fairly neutral part of the hedge as a background, due to a warm start to the year the gorse is already flowering!

No mad processing - sharpened and played with levels a little.

Thanks for looking, and all the kind comments. My highest placing yet, and best score, so I guess that's something.

Lovely looking doggie, nice pose. The dog really stands out from the background, yet it's complementary as well. Pretty.

A lovely pose and the background suits this nicely. She looks very elegant and sophisticated.

Love the natural lighting. The yellow of the bushes is a great compliment to the color of her coat.

Maybe less backgound (and more out of focus) so all the attention is on Ellie
