This is Hailey, my ten year old son's dog. She LOVES the snow, but feels she must be "Vigilant" to protect us from moose and those really scary grouse. She is always scanning the trail.

Nice profile portrait of this dog! The snowy backdrop really allows his/her chocolate brown coat to visually pop. Lighting is wonderful. A good shot but it could be even better if you bring us closer to your main subject - say a straight head shot. There is too much of the background included in the shot that really does nothing to improve the shot. You can still have the shallow DOF of the snowy trees as a backdrop but by bringing us closer to this dog's face you bring us closer to your subject. I love the play of the light on the coat showing off the variations of rich browns. Bringing us closer would show off the lovely color of this doggie. We would also see and appreciate more detail in the texture of the fur with a closer head shot.
