wow, thanks so much Rebecca! Yes Pumpkin was named for her coat and our favorite time of year treat ;) And yes, "grasshopper" is a wonderful teacher as I'm sure you know as well.

An excellent photo of your Pumpkin Spice. Love his look in his eyes and rolled back ears. Good detail in face and fur and good choice for B&W. Congratulations on your win.

A very fine shot and a beautiful black and white conversion with a complete range of tones. I like the exquisite detail and that imploring look in her eye. Best of luck in the contest.

Ok, Now I have that song in my head that goes like this: Sad Eyes turn the other way..
Holy black and white Pumpkin! I love this Chunky Chihuahua mix doggie!
Great clarity, nice focus, great details on those sad eyes and fine black and white conversion.
Well done! Good Luck
