Great shot

Very good pose she has. Sasha is a Border Collie? Good shot Simon:-)

I think is such a lovely dog, great shot Si!

Thank you all. She's a six month old Border Collie, but don't be fooled by the "butter wouldn't melt in her mouth" expression. She and her sister Scylla are little monsters (but we love them anyway...).

Do you have a hamster named "Digweed?"

oh ya nice pic, cute puppy

err.... no...? Should I have?

I love the gray background, it keeps from detracting from the dog. Great shot as well, the composition, as well as capturing the right moment. I know with pets this can be difficult at times.

thats a perfect shot... very photogenic dog you have there. that must have been some fly!

cool this is really nice! nice dog too. nice fly tooer. lol

Very nice dod and very good photo.

I've passed all your comments on to Sasha - she chose the background and held the pose, all I had to do was point and shoot... ;-)

Very professional looking Simon.You captured her at just the right moment.That does'nt happen every day.
Peace&Respect Jojo

lol.. cute dog

Looks a lot like my "baby". Nice shot

6 months... Sure they are monsters ;-)
Very nice pic Si. Very professional!

I could never get my dog to sit and look pretty long enough to take a photo. Nicley Done.

She looks like a movie star :)

Thank you all very much for your kind comments. I'm sure she thinks she's a star, Aristides, but if you could see her now, covered in mud, you wouldn't think so ;-)

She a goregeous dog Simon! She's posingn perfectly for this pic. Great capture and in my favorites!

Great shot...must have been an entertaining fly.

Agree with the others - this looks very professional! My cats are the same way - when I try to photo them, they stick their noses in the lens.

Thank you Rose, Rob and Teresa :-) Sasha and Scylla are curled up quietly on their beds at the moment, wet, sandy and worn out after a good run on the beach. But give them ten minutes and they'll be asking to play again.....

I love the gray background + Sasha is a really cool name for a dog :)

i'm on my tour through your gallery :)

when i had seen the thumbnail, my first thought was.. this dog should go modelling somewhere :) it sure looks like she's posing! and then i have read the whole story, heheh :)

she is an absolutely beautiful dog.. i bet her sister is, too (maybe a shot of her one day..? :) i simply love dogs.. and when my dog was a little puppy, he was a little monster, too :)))) they are so playful and hyperactive in that period :))

and for the image.. i like it a lot, it looks like a professional portrait and sasha is certainly photogenic :) the whole image uses achromatic colours.. the contrast between black and white fits perfectly with the beautiful grey shades of the background..
you couldn't do anything better, this is perfect! straight into my favourites.. one can notice, most of my favourites are animals.. who could not resist those beautiful creatures? :)
thank you for this wonderful image... and happy easter :)

Sometimes great photography is just being there at the right moment and having the presence of mind to capture it...

Nice shot...and I'm not even that crazy about dogs. The background goes real well with Shasha's coloring. Great job, high marks!

Terry

I love this shot! Beautiful dog.

Once again, many thanks to all of you :-)

AWWWWWW oooooo So cute!

adorable

Very nice picture. The dog is a poser.

beautiful girl; i think i'm in love!

First of all, the dog is beautiful. Im glad that you did not include the fly in this picture because the sense I got from this picture, that I normally do not with other pet images, is that this dog is very well-behaved. I know that we all love dogs when theyre playful and silly, but I think this picture is unique because it doesnt have that quality. I love the absense of color, especially because the dog is extreme black and white and the wall behind is middle gray, which pushes the dog image forward. Good work.

Very cool K-9 portrait. Just spotted it on the front page. Wonderful capture. The fly must have be lathered in peanut butter cuz this dog is transfixed.

Very cute.. = )

A lovely shot!
Very intelligent breed and you show her off very well :)

Sasha is beautiful.....I am the Mum of two border collies myself....they make awesome fur kids!
