 This is my parent's unruly but very cute dog. You couldn't tell that he is a goof by looking at this picture. I caught him on an off moment.

I like the soft gradient here that leads us from the left back into the dog, and those soulful eyes.

Wonderfully tactile presentation - just want to put my hand on his wrinkly head and have him look soulfully at me. And it seems no tones in this were wasted.

it seems like a classic pose for this pooch. I really like the eyes looking up. I can't decide if I like the soft focus, but the more I look I cant really imagine it differently.

Love the eyes! Looks like an almost exasperated moment of "I give up!" What a cutie.

I have no idea how you were able to get a picture of him this way, considering he's usually up to mischief like trying push people over. And considering he weighs as much as a pickup truck, he leaves a lot of fallen people in his wake. The processing suits the rare calmness of the moment.

Gentle subtle textures if presented in the right way can create an enjoyable viewing experience; add to that a little eye contact and something "human" and you end up reminding me that even the simple composition can offer up quite complex visual skills.

dogs seem so oblivious to some things, but i bet he knew what you were doing and was playing it up for the crowd

Nice shot and great eyes! They do tend to be goofy and very slobbery lol. Love his ears too, guess he is waiting to be called? or told off for doing something wrong lol

I like the textures in this one...the dog, the carpet, and the pillow. He looks like he's giving something a lot of thought.

Awwwww. ...looks like a candidate for the "eyes" challenge ??? He is adorable, and there is alot of soul in those eyes :) They make for an adorable expression -- and a very cute photo!

Oh, he's still got that goof look - or at least the "I'm thinking of something devious to try...." look. The composition is pretty good - I like the white tips of the feet, and the fact he apparently has his own pillow!
