Great look at Buddy! The expression on his face shows that he's very interested in watching the squirrels. The natural light from the window provides great lighting for this photo. Best of luck in the contest!

Lise,
A beautiful profile portrait of Buddy the Husky Labrador mix dog gazing out through the window at the squirrels the light shining on her cheeks. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Pet owners are lucky you are a sleep over pet sitter. They are hard to find. Buddy is very focused and intent in his stake out. Good that he keeps himself entertained. When you take him out I bet he is a handful to contain.
Nice photo!

Yes I am a bury pet sitter,, sometimes I am away from home for weeks,,but I try to pick where I can bring Jackson my dog so he is not missing me,,Buddy is actually a very quiet dog, but the brother is the one that runs like a mad dog trying to catch anything live lol,,thanks for a nice review

Comment from ArtistCarl
Actually, this is pretty good composition with the dog the absolute center of focus. What the dog is looking at is the center of focus. I own dogs. I have always owned dogs. They are such a joy. This one is a home protector, even against squirrels. This photograph is very enjoyable for my to view. Thanks for sharing. Reasons for my five star vote.

You are welcome. And you definitely got what you were after.

What a beautiful dog who seems very interested in what's going on outside. Lovely capture with nice clarity and detail. My cats also tend to view the squirrels but want to catch them as they run off.
Best of luck in the competition.

Yes, he does look as if he is watching something very intensely! Your full and central composition grants us a nice look at his profile. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

This is adorable ! Buddy feels that it's his job to be on squirrel patrol! He's intently watching for those little varmits ! Ha ha this is such a familiar sight for me, I have three dogs and one of mine is the patrolman, his post is my front window! Well presented !

A very nice shot that should include a bit more of the window in my opinion. The light is beautiful and the colors are great. A nice insight into the personality of the dog. Good luck in the contest.
