a wonderful close-in portrait. The eye, with its apparent eyelashes, and that marvelous facial coif...(I mostly hate composition suggestions, but I wonder if you took a little more off the top to close it in even further.)
We can well imagine. Right now it looks like Pavarotti is holding back, but I have no doubts. My friend has a miniature schnauzer whose high pitched bark is like a dental drill. He say that when he (Gustav) barks in the car its like gunfire. Cute pooch, affectionately portrayed.
