Awe... Well done! You brilliantly captured that "Love Me" look so prevalent in the canine species. A natural looking image with realistic colors, vibrancy and saturation. Tack sharp focus and just enough DOF to allow Mans Best Friend to take center stage. Kathy

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
You did right, pets are so lovely well deserve a reverence form us as they are o unconditional - rescues are so grateful I got in total 11 since I came here all directly from the street -
a wonderful shot he smells autumn while we run towards spring here - quiet confusing sometimes

beautiful angle and close up - lovely portrait capture, I love the half arch around him creating a kind like shelter - super focus, perfect exposure , lovely shot, thanks for sharing story and picture xoxo

Comment from Mollie213
He is a beautiful dog and it makes him even more special because he is a rescue pet.
All four of my cats are
rescue cats that had been discarded and I just love them all to pieces.
Yes, I hope you will post some more of this special pet.

Yes, I smell autumn in the air too. Cooler nights and warm days as the leaves are starting to turn here in the Eastern Arizona Mountains.

Wonderful shot Eileen! Great camera skills, POV, DOF and color. I look forward to catching up when I return in mid October!

What a sweet pup! Autumn in the air? Is she like the groundhog for autumn? (It was 95 here today... with 500% humidity.)

The focus is very nice. The composition too! I like the bit of an arch above Bambi's head.
