 My beautiful 18 month lab, Duke. Hard to get a shot of him staying still, but he was willing to focus on a treat that my husband is holding off screen just long enough for me to get the shot ;)

Black on black usually doesn't work too well... but he's shiny, so it makes for a great shot. And his eye really balances it out. Love it

Black subjects are not the easiest to give depth and detail, but you've done a marvelous job.

This is nice but I would like it if he were facing straight on or at least a little further round to the front as his face looks a little two dimentional to me. Beautiful dog :)
