What an amazingly regal and powerful looking dog. Fantastic capture with tremendous lighting and very nice clarity. He has a beautiful coat on him.

Comment from Mrs. Rogers
Nice and clear shot.

Good composition

Good clarity. I might have warmed the white balance a bit to get some of the cyan out.

Nice work.

Thanks for sharing.

Focused and good POV. Nice lighting. The Chow stands out strong against the background. Changing the DOF - giving the background some blur would make him even more prominent. Good photo

Here's my best shot. You can look and look to no avail, then when you least expect it, there it is. Your wonderful well framed and centered subject is a darling for sure. All the features that make a good shot great are present here. Stone, wood, trees and foliage capped of by the best in show. Great shot.

This is a great photo, love the contrast. Image is sharp and focused, well framed. From the look on his face, I wouldn't mess with him. Love the expression, definitely let the viewer know who's boss.

Comment from CMNash
With him being chow he is probably thinking that, because they really believe they are. They are great protectors, but not good with strangers at all. But you have taken an extraordinary photograph of yours. He is really beautiful. Just got to love that lion mane and look they have. It's so unique and beautiful. Quite the pose you got out of him too. Very regal and upright. He is a mess. I love the background of the shot as well, the greenery really touches off the color of your chow and makes him stand out all the more. And I personally just love the look of the short wall with the concrete slab showing. Is that a palm tree trunk right behind him? And I can see that you have some very nice dark pink flowers on the other side of that fence as well. With the facial expression on his face he really looks like a big ole teddy bear. Your focus and clarity are great. And the balance and frame are really good as well. This is a top notch photograph.

You are very welcome.

Looking like a lion, he's surely the king here!
With that aristocratic face and stance, he is indeed, intimidating to watch.
The backdrop lends a touch of nature into the frame.
This chow chow must be very warm blooded that my cousins pet died from nose bleeding last year...
Thanks for sharing...
