@Helen: He does...I admit, he's spoiled.
What a cutie! Love the center-focused composition here.

An incredible mono shot, by its clarity and brightness and above all the stare, so intense. How expressive.
I have a dog as well, a West Highlands. What a character. Gepetto is his name.

I do have some respect for a pitbull dog but Sonny seems to be a nice guy. A long time ago we had a Scottish deer-hound. We grew borecole in the garden to use at christmas time. But by then she had eaten it all.

@Göran: The pit bull is the sweetest breed of do I have ever known. Sonny is a nice dog indeed. The story of your scottish deer hound made me giggle...dogs are really something else!
What a vision of unconditional love! Beautiful light in this most excellent portrait of Sonny! Well done Sharon! ;-)

wonderful light in this portrait of your friend, that we are lucky we live with dogs on their ability to keep us happy, if you do anything to get his carrots sure it's very clever, Greetings!

Sonny is photogenic. That's one thing I knew immediately. :)

#1, 2 & 3 are pretty unique.. :) that's a cute shot of him..

Interesting lighting. I like the little catch light in the dog's right eye- it really relieves the dark side.

What a wonderful face beautifully illuminated. I know what you mean about the tongue kisses. Our two labs often get a bit fresh that way.
21 Jan 2012 4:36am
@Christopher: Ha! One is enough...but two!!
How tender look! Fantastic friend portrait!
21 Jan 2012 7:42am
Hug is OK, but no thank you for french kiss ! Nice lighting !

Looking at you so attentively!
21 Jan 2012 10:40pm
And - you didn't add a sixth thing - and that's how much he obviously adores you!! My pup - too - will do just about anything for carrots. Love the light in this!
22 Jan 2012 12:12pm
@Marcie: I'm happy about the carrots as they are also good for them too.
un portrait que l on ressent vraiment partager, il est acteur totalement, il pose avec grâce et avec classe, un regard fort, puissant, lumière qui accompagne et contraste saisissant, bravo Sharon ;)

Lets face it he is just very cute
22 Jan 2012 3:47pm
