Shot outside with a cloth backdrop draped on my deck railing, in midmorning to get the diagonal light on his face. He was, as he usually is, a cooperative subject.
PP - rotated, cropped, reduced gamma, cloned out little leaf on his beard, partial duotone effect, resize, sharpen, reduce noise in background

Post-challenge: thanks to Shane and voters for my new personal best :-)))

Shane looks like he has a bit of the Irish Wolfhound in him...perhaps he is as that I have only seen that breed once and they are huge. But I digress, the critique on the photo. The lighting really shows off the details of color and textures on this dog. Love the square crop it really keeps the focus on your main subject: Shane. Love the bit of expression that the dog has in this photo portrait. His mouth is slightly open and his head is turned slightly to the camera as if he just took an over the shoulder look & flashed a smile.
