A little hard to read but that's what her toy says. Getting a non-motion shot of a pup is hard! Especially when I can only use Basic editing. This definitely captures her personality at this age. She is perpetually getting into things and then looking at me with those big, brown eyes saying, "What'd I do?"
For the record, this is Sage at a few days shy of 12 weeks old. She is an Irish Wolfhound.
Used B&W because her toy is bright red which I found a little overwhelming with her more subtle coloring. Yes, I know I blew out the highlights on the rope part of the toy and I could have used a fill light on the shadowed side of her face, and I will be very surprised if no one mentions at least one of those flaws. And B&W doesn't quite say "wow" to most people. But I like this!

I would have placed this in the top five of the entire competition.
Beautifully classic in it's simplicity. |

| Good gray scale image. Works very well to throw attention to the great dog face. Wonderful composition and good detail in the shadows. |
