Related: About this forumMy wife wanted me to enter this photo in the current photo contest, instead of the one submitted:
I think I should've listened to her . . .

(42,770 posts)not be enough contrast to make your dog's eyes pop? Like the kitten pic that was winning last time I looked. Blue eyes a'poppin. . Although lots of great shots, some the eyes are not even focused on photographer

BTW, that is one gorgeous dog. Almost as hansome as my dog Jack.
George McGovern
(5,420 posts)Granted I'm a little biased, but I'll agree with you just this once regarding your good lookin' Jack!
AndyS
(14,559 posts)What breed is he/she? Looks like Jack in personality, a bit quirky and playful. My guess is he/she loves everybody and just may have a bit of bark penned up inside from time to time. All that and a bit of working dog too I bet. Jack is a working dog if you count barking at the wind . . .
George McGovern
(5,420 posts)Whenever someone comes to visit us Shadow runs out to greet them, as if the REAL reason they have come is to see HER! Her idea of a working dog is to come out to the barn for chores with us and bark at the horses in their stalls. She also barks at the wind!
Somehow my wife found out her DNA: Shadow is one half Blue Heeler, one quarter Border Collie, and one quarter Golden Retriever, Alaskan Malamute, White Swiss Shepherd.

(16,508 posts)The expression on her face in the submitted pic was priceless. This is a very nice portrait of Shadow, but I think the one you submitted fit the theme better.
She's very pretty here, but your submission was more fun, imo. It showcased a really fun side of her personality, and it told a story. That, in my opinion, made it extra special.

(32,057 posts)They are both extremely adorable. Her face framed by the tree, such a great composition.
But I have to admit when I saw your second submission (with the sock) I thought to myself, Oh, thats just IT! Great photo and with a sense of humor about it too!
Thats just my two cents
. I think your instincts align with mine. For what its worth
. which is probably nothing
