Hi Mario,

The pose and composition are very nice. I like those big, hairy ears. I would clone out the stick in the lower right corner. Other than that, a keeper for sure....................Jim

I really like this. I like the expression on her face. I might be tempted to desaturate the background just a bit, because it draws my attention away from her. Regardless, nice capture.

Well done. The precision of focus, keeping everything from ears to muzzle sharp is key. The relaxed, looking beyond the photographer gaze is pleasing.

It's one of those animals that can look so good against a nice background, as is the case here. I love the way the patterns in the fur match the dappled colors behind.

Hi I love the composition and the look on the dog. The color of the eye matches the background too. Beautiful!
