Thank you for your comment!

Normally I like to see a little more of the dog's body, the better to get some sense of the body language... but his face and your capture of the motion makes the tight crop work well. I think I'd be looking for just a LITTLE more light, or some metering off of the eye area to get a little more catch/glint to match the lively mood.

Great capture, and a lovely dog.

Great capture. Thanks for sharing.

I like the close cropping, the full expression in his ears and eyes. Interesting, high-key background as well, but not so interesting as to be a distraction. As I type this I look down at one of my goldens, who has the same kind of expression right now. Only once have I been able to get this kind of quality, with a long lens and accidental dramatic lighting. I'm not keen about your frame, it looks a little asymmetrical at the bottom. Nevertheless this is a winner image, I'd certainly post it on a wall somewhere.

 

Cheers
