 Tank has such a stoic expression. He grew up with the camera in his face, so he doesn't move when I get really close. He's such a good boy!

He will be 8 in December. Despite the fact that he looks to be part Newf, they are so rare in Texas, that he's probably a retriever combination of some sort.

Perfect low key shot of a very difficult to photograph (light wise, not patience wise) black dog. Beautiful portrait!

Whatever Tank's heritage is, he is a gorgeous boy. Lol at your title. I can remember quoting this to my mother, and did I get a serve! But I still think it holds up pretty well.

This guy looks exactly like my boy Bruno who is half Golden retriever and half rotty lab. All six siblings are also jet black like this. HUGE heads, HUGE bodies, gentle as can be. Mine is 120 lbs when he's not too fat and will be 14 next week. I'm going to have to copy this picture to try to get the perfect portrait of Bruno before it is too late.

Hey Judy - why wasn't this your Low Key challenge entry ??

Great example of Low Key, and set's off Tanks character a treat as well.

Very nice.

He's gorgeous and that's a really nice low key portrait of him. He looks as if his name fits him perfectly.
