What a great shot of your constant companion. That surely is a look of intelligence and attention. The coloration is just outstanding in his face and area surrounding. He also seems to have brownish eyebrows.

I am trying to read his mind and what I come up with is "yes I am a good Boy, but just not 100 percent of the time! I think they deserve a break at rate times. : ))

How could you not fall in love with him!

    Thank you very much Allan, he was quite the handful, he is very strong willed but he is maturing into a wonderful boy.
    I am honored by your six star rating!

What a gorgeous dog you have. They are just like our children are they not?
Wonderful job training him to look at you! Great idea for pics!
This is truly a high quality pet portrait with perfect lighting!
The image is incredibly sharp, highlighting the intricate details of the dog's fur and expressive eyes. Each strand of fur is meticulously captured. I feel I could reach out and pet him. Your photograph breathes life, love and his resect for you.

Wonderful portrait of this German Shepard with interesting colourings and smart expression.
I think he is ready for some German classes so he can talk to his relatives ice goes back for a visit.
Great colors, contest entry and overall fun to view .

Pat, this headshot of your fur baby 'a German Shepherd' is nothing short of excellent, showcasing the breed's natural nobility and strength. The image is incredibly sharp, highlighting the intricate details of the dog's fur and expressive eyes. Each strand of fur is meticulously captured, adding a sense of texture and realism that brings the portrait to life.

The depth of field (DOF) in this photograph is expertly managed, with the dog's head in perfect focus while the background (bokeh) is beautifully blurred. This shallow DOF ensures that all attention is drawn to the German Shepherd's face, emphasizing its sharp features and intelligent, soulful eyes.

The lighting is also great, as it enhances the natural colors and textures of the German Shepherd's coat, while subtly highlighting the contours of its face. The overall composition is well-balanced, creating a visually appealing and emotionally engaging portrait that truly captures the essence of this remarkable breed.

This is a great shot of this German Shepherd male. Love his eyes and thick coat. Great natural colours with excellent exposure. Great focus, especially the eyes. Sharp and clear with nice background bokeh. Deserves a six, well done and good luck in the contest :-)

A good looking nature image presented here! What is a German dog doing in Canada, especially in Alaska? Very strange indeed! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that handsome dog. Textures, tones and detail are good. Exposure and sharpness are spot on! Great photo!
