Snout

wonderfully crisp detail in the snout of this handsome beast... :)

wondeerful dog, photo and lighting!

Darren I have seen some of your shots you have an amazing talent. Thank you for sharing.

awesome! Is that his/her real eye color? I know some Huskies (it's a Husky, right??) can have very blue eyes...you've done a great job to make the eye color pop out like it does

very beautiful dog-portrait! well done!

Stunning shot. great detail

Perfect!

This is an absolutely superb portrait of (I assume he is yours) your Siberian Husky!!! I actually think this is the best photo in the portfolio by far.

:)

excellent, unusual image

What an exotic portrait, and using the classic techniques. Great work

sharpness is at the right spot and contrastness between two colors are at the best ,excellent work my friend ,i wish i would be ur student!

Excellent once again.

Splendid! Anna

How can you improve on nature's perfect creation?

Wonderful sharpness and lighting. The blue eyes are magnficent! I just love that blue... congrats on a great shot

Excellent. Bravo!

Eye-catching image. Sharp and detailed. The blue eye makes the shot! Excellent work!

Love the picture. The texture of the fur, great. The thing I loved the best, the blue eye. I usually don't like colorized photos (rejected some wedding photographers who showed me to many of them) but I think here is adds something. I really like it. Great Pic.

Excellent closeup portrait. If the blue eyes were not enhanced with extra blue, it's even more stunning. Nice to see pet portrait showing "character" of animal -- this is a very dignified portrait that shows respect.

The splendid detail of the fur and smooth, gradient tones of the dogs coat help make the aesthetics of this photo top notch, but the color of the eye really makes it snap. This is an exceptional portrait... artistically grounded and technically perfect in my opinion... very well done. Outstanding.

I like the lighting in this image (and throughout most of the portfolio), which is key to the wonderful detail. The subject feels static though, lacking interaction with the environment.

Wonderful picture! The only failing is the title, a noble entity and image like this

should have a title fitting it's status.

His eye... so blue!!!

It's a tightly closed in head shot with unsharp mask (carefully) driven to the limit and borderline tacky selective coloring of the eyes. It has impact for sure, because the effects are carefully taken very close to the point whre they almost, but not yet, look cheap and artificial to me, but I'm sure others will see this differently. Lightning is also good.

 

But overall the impact the pic has on me is more that of a short visual thrill on the surface (eye candy) than something that lasts and goes deeper. If had made the pic, I wouldn't kick it out of my portfolio, but I'd drop the blue eyes.
