Did you end up taking the puppy home? I really like the close up of this puppy. You certainly captured the expression on his face perfectly. Thanks for sharing this with us. :)

No sadly it was already bought. Plus I was on the back of a motorcycle so no room to carry him. Thank you for your comments.

You're welcome and sorry to hear that. I am sure he went to a good home though :)

A perfect subject to capture our hearts. You can't get cuter than this, and you have managed to make me say "Awww". You centering is spot on, and your focus is perfect.

A very nice shot. I like the imploring look in his eyes and the fine detail in his face. Beautiful colors and nice composition. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Robert Davis
Very appealing expression. Good exposure and sharpness There is a very shallow depth of field such that the nose mouth and whiskers are very sharp but everything behind has a little blur. The blue bar is very distracting as is the pink ribbon.

Comment from El-mundo
A beautiful capture of this gorgeous but slightly sad looking pup with and expression captured on its face of real determination to catch your attention. Excellent sharp clarity shows all the features, colours and textures of the face and the differing tones and hues of its soft fur well - with short DOF leaving the blurred green and brown B/G accentuating the subject further and cropped tightly in this well composed and heart wrenching/warming piece. Best of luck in the contest and I hope this one got a good home quickly! :)

Quite a grand entry for the competition posted here! Your fine full and central composition offers us a good look at this pooch pinning for an owner. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Impressive cute & candid capture!

Sharply focused.
Fine features & fluffy textures. I like the moist nose and slightly drooping eyes.
Natural color.
Subdued lighting.
Compact framing.

Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for sharing...

Oh my goodness! What a precious baby ! Determined expression on this puppy's face! Well captured, good focus, clear image, natural colors and tones, good eye contact complete with catch lights . I see the red yarn around his or her neck! Super cute! Best to you in the contest!

Who could resist that sweet face? My problem is I want to take them all. He appears to be an energetic little ball of potential fun that would be hard for any dog lover to pass up. Good luck.
