Outstanding photo of the beautiful dog. The fur in various colors is well done. The face and his expression are so spot on. That eye is bright. Background is different, fine. Thanks so much for sharing such a skilled work. You deserve a "6" here with the expression you caught coming from Aussie. Great work of a stunning subject!

Hi Jodi, I love it! The anticipation on Arby's face. It'd a very sweet face too! I think you caught Arby at the perfect moment! The look so makes this image leap into your heart! Love the focus and lighting, but that face makes this image truly special! Fantastic catch! Good luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

Your dog is beautiful. It seems that he is looking at you. His adoring expression is impressive. Your photo has good depth and is excellent focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. I enjoy the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail and textures. I can almost feel the silky hairs of his fur. The portrait is expertly composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Wow, Did I say Wow? What a magnificent photo. Did you plane on the light, sun, in back of the pup? It is fantastic. The fur is lit perfectly. The pup has that proud, interested look. Catch light in the eye. Did you use a flash? What ever the background is it fits the photo. Please just tell me how you created this shot? Thanks

    Sorry for the delay in responding but Thank You! I so appreciate your excellent review, high rating and questions!!!
    I didn?t use a flash - this shot is on my back deck and that is the background that you see (I did blur it just a bit so that the textures didn?t compete with the dog). The lighting is late afternoon sunlight slanting across the deck and I had my husband sit where the light was best and I was lucky!! I take all of my photos in RAW so I converted this with a program called ACDsee and then I finished it with a look in Topaz Lens Effect called Fur and Feathers that helps bring out textures. I finished with the black border.
    Thank you again, most sincerely!! Jodi ~ Way West

Oh my goodness! Arby is a gorgeous Aussie!
You have captured him so well here, he has such an intelligent expression, he is well focused, this image is sharp and clear, exposure is correct, his colors and tones appear natural. You have brought out the texture of his soft coat and such well defined details in his face , I especially appreciate the clear eye complete with the reflective light! I used to work with dogs of all breeds, I always enjoyed the Aussies!
Well composed and presented!
Very best wishes to you in this contest!

This is a very nice photo of a good looking dog. I like the position of the dog in the photo. The colors of the dog make him stand out against the background. The focus is excellent. I like this wonderful photo very much.

Jodi,
A beautiful profile portrait of Arby your Australian Shepherd dog his eye fixed on your husband begging him to throw a ball. The light sparkling in his eyes while highlighting his beautiful long fur coat. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
