Lovely. Looks like he's struck that pose just for the shot.
Like me with one I posted yesterday, I think you got the focus point in just the wrong place (I know it was a grab shot). You got it on the nose with teh eyes being just a touch soft. But for what it is that's a minor point. Great fun.
I can feel the dog being near me in this shot. However, this type of shot is when a protective filter might be useful. My big dog tends to lick the lens when I get this close with the camera...
Lovely looking dog and great dog candid
thankyou owen
