[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From www.dogbreedinfo.com:
"Siberian Huskies are strong, compact, working dogs. The Siberian Husky comes in all colors from black to pure white are allowed. A variety of markings on the head is common, including many striking patterns not found in other breeds. Color choices include Black and White...Red & White...Gray & White..Sable & White...Agouti & White (which is sometimes referred to as the coyote color and contains a lot of dark gray coat), and White (not to be confused with a Samoyed). Different coat markings are all accepted, the most notable being a pie-bald. These coat markings are similar to that of a pinto horse. The face mask and underbody are usually white, and the remaining coat any color. The eyes are almond shaped, moderately spaced and set a trifle obliquely. It is a common misconception that all Siberians have blue eyes. [But this pup does, obviously.] They can have eyes that are blue, brown, amber, or any combination thereof including eyes which are half blue and half brown, which is referred to as being parti-eyed. Having one blue eye and one brown eye is referred to as being bi-eyed.
Temperament
These dogs are gentle and playful, but willful and mischievous...Though they do generally have a lot of energy, especially as puppies... Huskies are very intelligent and trainable, but they have a mind of their own and will only obey a command if they see the point...This dog will take advantage if he can..." That temperment part is the understatement of the year! Anyway, this is just one of probably a hundred shots that my Miacoda has posed for. She's a ham, always ready for her close-up!

Cropped, sized & framed in Photoshop, & raised the contrast just a little.

Hi Randy.

Another great shot of your beautiful huskie. Just great, nice framing and composition. I'd like to see more if it'd be possible.

TFS,Aqueous.

Nice close-up of that beautiful dog, one of my favorite breeds! Good composition, and that little twinkle in the eye, very nice!

Randy, wonderful image of one of man's best friends. Without the rest of the head / face, we have no way of knowing the dog's mood. However, the breed is very strong and wilful. Lovely shot. Pity about a little burn-out under the eye, but a bit of work with curves on Photoshop would tone this down. Best wishes, Paul.

excellent note, and a very good macro , amazing eye color and the look of a wolf. nicely done. very interesting name your dog has does it mean anything?
