Great photo of your Golden Retriever. He looks so happy in getting a new toy. Good focus and lighting. Well composed. Sharp detail. Color and tones are natural. Nicely done. Good luck in the photo contest.

EyeCATching canine portrait.
Compact framing showing Fine facial features & smooth coat textures.
Gorgeous illumination.
Nice inclusion of triangular verdant grass patches on opposing corners for a more naturally-looking setting as opposed to filled up framing with nothing but all fur.....

Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

Yes, a particular problem in many continents! That is the loss of things on school playing fields unless there were staff like me on duty! Exposure and sharpness are good. Nice fight back!

He looks happy. I see his ecstasy about the new toy. His expression is intriguing. The photo is well focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. Details are nicely refined and colors are realistic. The tight framing is suitable. The composition is balanced.

Comment from JerseyJudi
Wonderful pet prtrait. This dog looks so happy chomping on that ball. The dog is very sharp and has a wonderful catch light in both eyes. The square crop was a really good choice. Nice work!

He is a beautiful golden retriever. I had a female that was richly colored like yours. They seem to breed them more blonde nowadays. A beautiful shot and a great entry to this contest. Good luck.
