 this is my brother's dog, Duncan. He cooperated pretty well but got squirmy after a bit ... I took about 100 shots for this challenge and had a hard time deciding which one to use.

Rotate, crop, curves, resize, sharpen, selective colors, brightness/contrast, shadow/highlight tool, save for web

Took me a second to realize it was a dog, perhaps focusing on the bone rather than the nose? It's what my eyes are trying to focus on anyway.

To be able to get a dog to do this must have taken a lot of work. The picture is great.

I like the composition and the DOF. It seems like it could be a bit brighter, though.

Love it. Might have made the milk bone the item in focus, but great photo. How did you get your dog to stay? :-)

Cute photo, the top of the milk-bone is blurred with the background so it almost appears that the nose and not the milk-bone is the main focal point.

ooo
if only my dog could do this!
I really like this picture, I wouldve prefered the word milk bone were in focus more than the nose, or at least part of the word, im just amazed he stood there and let you take a pic of this tasty morsel on his snout!
