Maggie

Well composed. Whites are well under control mostly. There is some of it on the LHS that looks blown.

It's a good dog in nature shot, Rick. The blown out highlights are a bit distracting for me though. I always push the highlights right up to the edge and take the shot. It means you will probably have to raise the lower end of the luminance curve in post processing but at least the shadows can be recovered surprisingly well while severely blown highlights are gone forever. In this case it's about the dog rather than the landscape so its not as important but it is possible to shoot both the landscape and the dog and have the best of both.

Rick,

Tough lighting, but you captured Maggie looking right at you..............................Jim

Rick, nice environmental shot of Maggie. I guess neither of you get to spend a ton of time in the snow - there is a rather quizzical look on her face

Hi Rick! I love the expression on Maggie's face, and the scene is very pleasant despite the brightness of the snow on the left half of the frame. Your dog has a very beautiful coat and tail as well as a face full of character...I love her glance back at you here.

Nah, don't believe this is Dallas. Fine look at Magie posing well in a very interesting environment. I could see cropping this to remove the blown highlights on the left.
