This is my mom's dog Tessa, who wasn't cooperative at all, this is one of the few I was able to get.
Adjusted levels, shadows/highlights adjustment, selected the eyes and adjusted the brightness and cloned out a reflection of a reflector, cloned out a couple small brown leaves in the grass, usm, crop, border, save for web.
Lens used: Canon 28-135 IS

All I can say is WHAT A GORGEOUS DOG!! and you've captured her/his beauty perfectly in this photo... Having an all white cat myself, I know how difficult it is to photograph them... But the texutre of its hair and the eyes and smile just POP!!!! Great job!!!!!! Congrats on 10th place, if I had registered when this challenge was happening, I'd have given it a 10 with ears way up!!!! LOL
Can't do much better in portraying "white" than this. technically wonderful. Composition a bit blah, might be helped by backing off a tad and getting a bit more dog shape, I donno. Stron entry.
What a perfect face! I'd say purrfect, but I'd be off by a species. How about peruffffect? Either way, excellent shot. Lacking that pop zing wow, but I still give it a 9. Good luck in the challenge!
What a cute smile... :) I really like the way that you have cropped this shot. Like how the fur just fills up the entire bottom of the frame and then just a little green to show her off. Great focus and lighting. Hope you do well. (10)
