This is my boy when he was little~ Mr. Silas Woolyfoot, hehe! At nine weeks old his feet were almost as big as my year old female! At 9 months old he weighs 97lbs. I liked this shot in B&W, I hope you do too!
An almost perfect pet portrait Lisa. (Only reservation is the way the right edge cramps the ear tips.) You have the whole depth of snout and face inside your depth of field, you captured the gleam in his eye, lots of detail in his coat even in the darkest areas, the comp naturally leads your eyes to make eye contact with him and you've captured personality as well. Awesome shot.
Your image is simply gorgeous Lisa, the panel of the Grey is very good, also the composition. His eyes express so many thing.
This portrait is a real masterpiece indeed.
