Took over 50 shots to get this right. Did everthing i could... from giving her treats, showing her toys and even making funny faces to get the right effect. The best one was when my sister was calling her over (which was around the time i was considering a different subject!) ^^;
Used a white blanket for the background and my desklamp to increase lighting. Brightness and contrast were increased to remove the creases from the blanket with Photoshop and finalized image with NeatImage.

This is one of my top three favorites for this challenge.
The tones in it are fantastic and you captured your subject just right. The pose fits the challenge well. The adjustments made to it are right on and the framing wonderful. Kudos to you for this excellent image.
I can't imagine why this might have been thought to have been falsified. It's a lovey shot, easily my favourite of the challenge so far. Perfect in every respect. 10
