Hi Helen,
You could catch a very interesting moment of this dog :). Sharpness and colours of your photo are perfect, excellent focus on the subject and a nicely blurred background. I like the frame around the image, too. Interesting note to accompany with. TFS.
Kind regards,
Kristof

Hello Helen,

I like very much the focus on the dog's head!
The sharpness and colors are great and the frame is perfect in my opinion. Very good the blurred BG.

It's a very well done job!

Congratulations and TFS,
Sergio

So, you HAVE sold?
This is a beautiful expression on Shaden's face - if he could purr, this is the time!! He looks so lovingly and trustingly at you Helen - it is lovely to see.
Cherish him

Hi Helen, another great shot of your very nice dog, excellent composition and dof with the head only in focus which brings it out as do the sharpness and details

Lovely pet portrait - you get a huge sense of the character of the dog. Excellent DOF and sharp details. And extra points for keeping a labrador on a strict diet - not the easiest thing to do!
Thanks for sharing

Hi Helen. You have one beautiful friend. F/2.8 is perfect as you have nicely sharpened the suject's face and blurred the uninteresting background. I normally don't like pet shots but this is an exception. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Helen,

Il est vraiment magnifique ce brave chien!!!
Shaden a beaucoup de chances de t'avoir pour maîtresse, continues à en prendre soin comme tu le fais depuis son plus jeune âge, il t'en est apparemment très reconnaissant!!!
Amitié à vous deux

Hi Helen, he's a lovely dog, I always liked Labradors of any colour, they are so intelligent and faithful. Nice capture with great DOF.
Best regards, Les P.S. Don't worry about the spiders, they are harmless, get the macro out and try and capture one!

Hi Helen,

What a beautiful dog you have! Very nice portrait of him as well. Great sharpness and the blur is perfect. Good colours and lighting. I like the crop.
Very well done! May you have many wonderful moments with him :-)
