The title is a double entendre....for those of us less inclined to understanding the nuances of our language.

Thank you to those who have taken the time to try to appreciate my intentional decisions while making this piece. Everything from the lighting, to the lens, to the pose, to the focus and editing led to this end result.

This is my pup...about 7 months....he is a total humane society pickup...and no one has any idea what he is. Not even my vet. Anyone want to venture what different breeds may have contributed to this crazy guy?
Here is a profile of him yawning...I mean growling:
And then posing...

Look at the eyes on that guy. His demeanour looks almost regal and I sense some Papillon? How big is he?
Whatever he is, he is a miracle of a dog, a combination that would be great to figure out and breed specifically. Humane Society pups really are the best, aren't they?
Wonderful portrait and I wish I had been able to vote. Should have scored higher but that often happens...
"Anyone want to venture what different breeds may have contributed to this crazy guy?"
- at first he looked a little like another dog I had viewed in this Challenge, an 'Icelandic Sheep Dog', by djonson: ....I'd never heard of an Icelandic Sheep Dog, but then there was another, by unneva:
Otherwise, a few 'guesses' might be perhaps a corgi/fox terrier mix (especially because of those big ears), it is a little difficult to guage his size from the image, but perhaps a papillon was involved, long-haired chihuahua, who knows. One thing is for sure, this is a lovely looking dog with a cute face and a 'fine set of ears' now captured in a fine photograph. Best of all, he now has a home.
Most splendid. Love the toning here. The lighting works really well, only really minor nitpick is his/her right side is a tad too dark. Still like this a whole lot, top5 fave!
That's wonderful. Love the play of light and shadow. Great ears. Papillon mix? I keep coming back to this guy. What a charmer. Upping the score too. ;~)
Haha, definitely has the "are you done yet?" stare. I like the lighting other than the left eye is too dark. Nice saturation and clarity. The soft edge around the frame is nice too.
Love the attention you captured in the ears. Shadows on the left are just slightly too much. They just barely cross the line between adding interest and distracting from the effect.
Love those ears! S/he looks awfully serious, I must say. Could use a bit of fill light or dodging on the shadowed eye; just too cute a dog for film noir (bete noir?) lighting.
Nice pose and like the centered composition works well - but do wonder about a little more 'depth', dramatic tones to make 'The Sitter' pop a little more. Lighting is nice, but again - wish the right eye had the same or similar illumination.
