The fur on the right is blown out which is unfortunate, because otherwise it's a pretty nice shot. I might have tried to clean his eyes up a little bit more. My eye is immediately drawn to his left eye (right as we look at the shot) and I wish it wasn't goopy in the corner.
Thanks for your comment, I would point out though the " blown " effect on the fur was intentional.
Love the photo, I'm always going to be a sucker for Springer Spaniels, lovely dog, cannot figure out how you ever got one to sit still long enough ( unless there was food involved)

I'm an absolute sucker for cute puppy picture. I love the expression on this little guy's face. Great use of contrasting B&W. This is a winner for me. 10
