A very beautiful photo presented here of this amazing German Shepherd. I've had two in my lifetime and I really do miss them. Love your composition, shades, tones, colors, and background that highlight your subject in a very pleasing way. Lovely to view. Thank you for sharing.

This is a beautiful handsome portrait of this shepherd. Did they start schutzhund training before you got him.? The focus, clarity and details are well shown here, also such beautiful coloring. A lovely dog,! And great photograph.

Very well done Pat! This portrait of your dog is beautiful with many fine details and clear natural tones. The look in his eyes is gorgeous and he looks like a loving dog! The nicely blurred background gives great highlight to all his beauty. An excellent entry for the contest, good luck!

What a great shot of your constant companion. That surely is a look of intelligence and attention. The coloration is just outstanding in his face and area surrounding. He also seems to have brownish eyebrows.

I am trying to read his mind and what I come up with is "yes I am a good Boy, but just not 100 percent of the time! I think they deserve a break at rate times. : ))

How could you not fall in love with him!

What a gorgeous dog you have. They are just like our children are they not?
Wonderful job training him to look at you! Great idea for pics!
This is truly a high quality pet portrait with perfect lighting!
The image is incredibly sharp, highlighting the intricate details of the dog's fur and expressive eyes. Each strand of fur is meticulously captured. I feel I could reach out and pet him. Your photograph breathes life, love and his resect for you.

Pat, this headshot of your fur baby 'a German Shepherd' is nothing short of excellent, showcasing the breed's natural nobility and strength. The image is incredibly sharp, highlighting the intricate details of the dog's fur and expressive eyes. Each strand of fur is meticulously captured, adding a sense of texture and realism that brings the portrait to life.

The depth of field (DOF) in this photograph is expertly managed, with the dog's head in perfect focus while the background (bokeh) is beautifully blurred. This shallow DOF ensures that all attention is drawn to the German Shepherd's face, emphasizing its sharp features and intelligent, soulful eyes.

The lighting is also great, as it enhances the natural colors and textures of the German Shepherd's coat, while subtly highlighting the contours of its face. The overall composition is well-balanced, creating a visually appealing and emotionally engaging portrait that truly captures the essence of this remarkable breed.

This is a great shot of this German Shepherd male. Love his eyes and thick coat. Great natural colours with excellent exposure. Great focus, especially the eyes. Sharp and clear with nice background bokeh. Deserves a six, well done and good luck in the contest :-)
