This is my first submission. Trying to kill two birds with one stone. I favor my pet more than anything else in the world and when I couldn't take part in the pet portrait I went for it anyways with the color on color. Just used my old desert cammies and a blanket.

I spend all my time with Canon(his name). I luckily have a job where i can take him with me. So with all this time together, we have an incredible bond and he's trained really well. Hopefully in the future I can share some portaits taken in nature...
As a former Marine, I am not sure if I am upset or giddy - LOL - He/she is almost to CUTE to wear the uniform!! Semper Fi anyway!! Oh, Labs have such beautiful eyes, it would have been nice to light them a bit more. 10 non-the less!!
This seems soft and fuzzy and just a touch blurry, but since its a cute animal in people clothes i think that adds to it. The background looks like a sheet, i dont know if thats what you were going for but i find it distracting. But the compostion and values in your photo are really nice and it brings the score back up. Great subject!
Semper Fi! I am going to graduation at MCRD SD next Friday so this picture was extra special for me. I really like the colors and the dogs head and eyes are wonderfully clear. You captured a great expression as well.
It might have been a bit better if the hat were on top of his head instead of sagging behind him (or her) but I can imagine that's tough to do.
BTW Great looking lab -- I love labs with that classic blocky head. Hope he/she gets a chance to go after some ducks now and then. :)
