I was expecting a glass of some brown liquid, but the compromise is nice too. The last one is great. So cute.

Lovely shots, especially the last one. Is she a Bernese Mountain Dog?

Last shot is great :)

The small white spec next to her right eye is a touch distracting I think? Easy fix however.

Nice grass you got too! Looks super-soft..

She just gets more gorgeous every post.. I soooooo want one... *nods*...

You've done a brilliant job of capturing her here too... she stands out nicely from the background which wouldn't have been all that easy in those first two shots considering she has black and the background is also dark... :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Great shots of a beautiful dog.

I love the pose in the first one and the look in her eyes on the last one.

As for C&C, I would say try to get a background that gives a bit more contrast for the first two. As Bindii said, you did a great job with the dark background but I think they would really pop if the background was lighter.

On the last one, only a small nit pick, I would have liked to see the tail up, Bernese Moutain dogs have a great tail.

I love dog pictures and having photographed my dogs very often, it is not easy and you have done great here.

When is it that you need to get a second mortgage to feed her? :D

Cheers,

André

Thanks Andre!

I appreciate the comments - especially the advice on the background.

Her tail is a little weird at the moment because she's still a pup - it has a bit of growing to do to catch up with the rest of her!

And yes - the food bill is starting to "bite" :mrgreen:
