How charming and what a doll, cleo. This has got to be a winner with that captivating face.

Everything about this is adorable - the look from the eyes, the coloring on the face, the two white paws on the ledge - and that chin that seems to be carefully and comfortably propped.

Any owner would be proud of a pet with this type of shot. Shows personality and a pose that one can't resist.

And yet it is candid and with a whimsical sort of a second-thought approach (though I know it is technically approached with your way of capturing feeling).

As far as a pet portrait - they just don't get any better.

    Thank you so much. Yes she is adorable. Another 100% mutt bread. Lucky loves her. So you will probably see more of her.

    So happy to hear, cleo. I know it is a cliche and often said - but there really is no place like home. Have a happy and safe trip. To think of all you've been through and still able to keep up such a volumn of work is admirable.

    Thank you so much.
    Especially for the compliments my pink glassed friend.
    Art work is my way to go through things. It keeps my head strait if I have to concentrate my thoughts.There is nothing admirable to it truth I enjoy admiration.

This is so cute! You've captured her expression so well as she longs to join your dog for play. I like the angle you took this shot from and lighting and focus are very good, showing great detail. Very nice composition.

I'm waiting for the caption bubble to pop up. How cute of photo this is. Nicely framed with good clarity and expression.

This is so cute! Love the angle for this. Your light is perfect and so is the focus on the dog. Not to sure about the ledge or whatever that orange part is he is standing on. I find it a bit distracting but still a good shot.

    Thank you so much. The orange part is wall in area typical color. She looks over it standing on her hind legs. Cutting the wall of leaving only the dog in the picture just didn't look good to me. but I will rethink this.

AWWW, just look at that face. How adorable. Great job on the lighting and composition. Good clarity and detail. Would make a great greeting card. Nicely done.

    Actually I had put this picture on a birthday card for her mom.

This is one cute dog and seems like he is not happy and taking a timeout. He is probably waiting for someone. Nice sharp focus and excellent details. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes she is a little upset. Can't come out to play with my dog because mom and dad aren't home.
