I love your photo of the beautiful pekingnese. I recently lost my dog and would love a copy of this photo for a memory of my wonderful dog. You captured the beauty and intelligence of this very special breed.
What a beautiful pet portrait! I love the softness around the face and the pose/expression is excellent! Glad to see you had a willing model...I wish I could get my cat to sit still long enough to take a photo like this of him! The only thing I am not sure about in this image is what appears to be the edging of a cushion towards the bottom of the frame, I would have preferred that not to be there but understand it's not easy getting animals in exactly the right place! An 8 from me :o)
