What a beautiful puppy and a stunning portrait. The dappled grey background is an excellent contrast against the dogs coloring.
Focus is sharp and the expression captured is perfect.

Thank you so much Mary! I used to rain dogs professionally, the first thing they need to learn is to look at me, it?s so important! I appreciate your lovely review and Chance and I are honored by your six star rating!

Really strong image of this dog and the eyes are something else,almost tells a story in this,this has meaning rather than a straight forward portrait and the bokeh background works well for this as a well,a winner for me...brian

Beautiful image! So much emotion captured in the eyes! The placement of the subject is excellent! The eyes are the focus on the exact vertical line, and in the horizontal 3rd! Great work!

Whoever you are you have a talent for this genre - he's gorgeous. Shepards are my favorite breed of canine.

This is an excellent portrait, sharply focused throughout. focused so well I can count the whiskers on his chin - very well done.

The colors of the pooch are all natural in tone and hue.

The background is perfectly matched with the coloration of the dog - it highlights the dog and keeps the viewers' attention focused.

This is a super entry for this contest good luck... Bob

Thank you so much Bob! I used to train dogs professionally, the first thing they need to learn is to look at me ! They are my favorite subjects for photography . The German shepherd is my most favorite breed , they are workers , they love to learn and they value the praise for doing the right thing. Chance is almost 7 months old and we work together every day !
He and I are honored by your six stars!

What a perfect photograph of that special head tilt that dogs do so well. This German Shephard is adorable, and you have captured his personality wonderfully. Great work.
