A good discussion.

We were solving the worlds problems.

She (I'm guessing) is staring with such intensity! Eagerly awaiting her master's command (on how to solve the world's problems). Her intesity contrasts with the light playfulness of this photo. I like it! Maybe ease up on the cropping a bit?

Jon... An entertaining shot that caught and held my attention (but then I'm a dog person). I recognize that you don't intend this to be a formal portrait, but a little work with light levels would give it a little more punch. I've attached my thoughts, but if you don't like it I will be glad to remove. Overall, you can't go wrong with a gorgeous dog in the picture :).... Mike

 

 

Andrew,

 

You may be right about the crop. I'm going to work with it.

 

Mike,

 

Your work on the light levels does improve the picture. I'll work on the light levels as well.

 

Thanks for the comments!
