 Well, this is a toss-in. Don't usually throw in something just to enter and I really wanted to do the 'For Sale' challenge but it didn't work out with the schedule. Also didn't want to be a non-participant with the WPL thing going on...

...so, with 2 horses, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and fish it wasn't too hard to follow one of them around for awhile for a shot. Ok, well the fish tank needed cleaning, the cats are boring lately, and our german shepherd has been used in too many challenges already. The horses need major grooming (see last challenge entry for a hint). That leaves the jack russells, one of which I couldn't get far enough away from the camera (always trying to get in my lap when I kneel down) - so "Sassy" is the lucky one this go around. :D

I wonder how many comments I'll get about the far eye looking smaller and without a catchlight gleam? :P

7 - Nice capture, including of character - looks like a nice natured dog. Perhaps a little less space on the left and more of a square framing, may have given this a little extra. Difficult, but that light in both eyes too, and even sharper / more pop around the eyes/face, but fairly minor.

Nice elder. (Cropping almost to square would have bumped it for me).
