I love Assasin! Those eyes are gorgeous. I like his colors against the background and I really like the way he appears to be walking though those weeds. Beautiful dog and lovely photo.

Assasin is a beautiful dog.

I don't know what you call him when mad, but I use to have a snow white jack russell named "Chocolate Dude".

He loved to be called "Chocolate" but when I called him "Dude" he knew I was mad mad as hell LOL

This is a good shot. The only thing i would suggest is dimming down the light just a tiny bit, i know that's not what i normally say lol. The lighting on the dog is just fine, but the background seems just a little too bright. I like the blurriness in the background though. That's just my opinion, so you don't have to listen to me :) I do think your focus and framing are very good. Overall, you did a great job on this photo :) Thanks for sharing :)

I'll be honest. I love this photo mostly for the subject matter GSD are my favorite breed. You've definitely managed to capture the playfulness in his expression. He is a beautiful dog :)

As_? LoL!
Well, he'll grow up to be an obedient K9...as they have mild temper but can defend his master when in danger!
But why cropped his front paws?
A white board can lighten his face...
Vivid color.
Dramatic lighting.
Nice framing.
Thanks for Sharing.

It was a shot caught quickly before he ran off! I didn't crop them I was using a telephoto lens at the time and he was fairly close! Thanks so much for the very nice review and rating!

First off, beautiful dog. I love german shepherds. He is going to be a big boy!. I love the photo of him, I would have lighten up the shadows around his eyes or used a fill flash. But still a nice portrait. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for the very nice review and rating! This was un-posed so there wasn't time! I used Dodge to lighten it up quite a bit around the face! It was very bright out=) Thanks again! Lilibug6

I understand about grabbing the shot before the dog ran away. Not sure if you do any processing through Lightroom, Aperture or photoshop. I prefer lightroom. You can correct the white balance, soften the highlights and open the shadows. Very nice program.

Is that an online progream? I will have to look into it! Thanks for the tips=)

Lightroom is from Adobe.com You can check out Laurashoe.com She does write ups and puts out samples of Lightroom. You can get an idea of what the program does.
