a fitting member of Jim Dratfield's pound. Great personality in your subject.

the look on his face is classic, almost like he knows what the sign says.

Probably one of the more pre-eminent pet photographers around. I think you have captured the essence of his style. It reminds me of one of his pet portrait books that has a pug for the cover. This is quite wonderful and quirky. Gotta love it ;) As an improvement, may I suggest just adjusting the levels slightly so that the midtones and the shadows are bumped up. I think this will make for a stronger and wonderfully amusing shot!

Linda: The many things you put your darlings through ;) Great shot and good job!

Awe! How cute. I like this light hearted pose. It's like the little pug is pleading - "Please feed me". Great sepia, wish there was just a tad more contrast.

Ha, almost a direct copy of one of his shots. Nicely done! How'd you get the same dog? :-)
