Took this picture of a dog at a local specialty pet boutique for the owner. Used one monolight and a roll of black backround paper set up in the front of the shop.
Converted to sepia using Lightroom and cropped.

Not a dog portrait kind of guy, but this is very very good! Nice dynamic range. You have managed to convey emotion with this photo, not that easy with a pet.
nice lighting on the fur under the dog's chin but the eye on the right really could use a little more light. also, having the dog look above the viewer is not very flattering
