I took this of my brother and my dog lying on the floor --- I think it captures the moment pretty well. I used my camera's built-in flash (since it was very dark), which caused some nasty highlights. The only editing I did was a little levels to pull back the highlights, conversion to B&W, and a crop to focus on the licking action.

I don't know if I would have gone B&W with this shot. The tongue is to close in shade to the cheek and doesn't stand out as much as I would have liked. Leaving the color in the photo may have provided better contrast.
One of my top three picks of the challenge. Meets the challenge well and demonstrates imagination along creativity. Technically a well captured photograph.
Sorry, I hate when dogs lick peoples faces (and I AM a dog person). That aside, the shot could have been cropped a little looser and the lighting looks flat.
