One of the best....simple....ekegant capture. Right on the target....perhaps a little too much DOF to capture the back of the letter...so a 9 instead of a 10

Great picture. I like the mane flying. The only distracting element is the white line coming out of his neck.

The Family Dog

This is one great photo! I love so much about it. The CHAIN! You could tow a boat with that! The look on his face! That weathered dog house. That war wound on his leg. That giant old tin bowl. So much mood here! Great job. It's like a movie in a picture. Is this really your dog? If it is, I wonder what YOU look like since owners and their dogs look similar. :)

Great job with a tough subject (black dog). Looks like you turned up the contrast or USM . My suggestion would be to mask the background when you do that so you only accentuate the detail in the dog and not the background. Anyway, you've captured a great look on a beautiful dog!

Your tired old friend is beautiful and looks like a sweet companion. Nice sharp picture. I might suggest seeing a bit of a profile too. Great job.

Wow...I can tell you are a master at this. Your beautiful dogs blend right into the painting. This should be hanging in your livingroom! Bumping up
