Alisha, great! Makes me miss my black Lab of a dozen years. Good shot..was this taken at the beach... #2265657Shelly A. Van Camp January 08, 2006
Cute! Great B&W!! Beautiful dog and love the title! #2265659Bobbie Davis January 08, 2006
Wonderful high tone image Alisha! #2265660Alisha L. Ekstrom January 08, 2006
Thank you Lisa, Candice, Darryl, Toni, Shelly & Bobbie for your wonderful comments.Toni...yes this was taken at a beach area. The original image is on page 6 of my gallery. When I had taken the image I overexposed the background(water) a bunch & as you can see in the original image it came out with a completely white background. I really liked how it came out. Though I am re-entering it & with just a different comp. Thanks!!

Hi Alisha - Visited your gallery and I love your portrait work!! I could not resist remarking on this image, though. What a shot! I just love the composition. So incredibly simple (It's a "Why in the world didn't I think of that??") yet very dynamic and "it works!" Totally deserves that little silver oval and I Hope it goes on to Win Big!! Very nice #2491922Paula Dwyer April 04, 2006
