Is that one of those rare zebra-hounds? To be serious, this is a great shot. The b&w is awesome in my opinion. 8.

I tend to be biased towards animal shots, I love them. But I think this one is particularly interesting beacause of the stripes. He also looks like he is sitting almost upright and leaning against the back of the chair. I do wish there was a light stripe over his eye so it was more visiible and could get more sense of his personality. I think the ear sticking up is great and the fact the he stayed still long enough to set up light and shot is testament either to his obedience or your skill as photographer-- i ll let you decide which : )

The colors are wonderful but the focus is hazy.

If focus wasn't so soft this could have been much better-rated. Nice record of the event though.

Thank you, everybody for your comments and suggestions. We're going to reshoot this weekend and I have a much better idea how to set up for lighting and focus.

Great shot, great composition too - almost like a Bierstadt painting. Could have used some noise reduction perhaps.

I thought I had commented on this photo, but then I was trying to determine some icons and realized must not of gone through (if has can you let me know) wondering what doing wrong.
I really like the natural look, feel, light and expressions of this photo, you really have captured the loving bond between mom and baby. The feeling is relaxed and overjoyed on baby and moms part. Excellent capture.
