Beautiful. Renders the utter dignity of Ranger, and your dof and treatment make me think of an oil portrait.

dynamic frame-filling composition + beautiful pooch = great shot!

I think the sepia treatment really works here - gives it a nice vintage look. My favorite aspect of the photo is the geometry - the way Ranger's body is pointing one way but his snout is pointing at right angles away. His eyes, although shiny and sharply in focus, are also dreamy and distracted. For me this look in his eyes ties in with the vintage processing - gives him a timelessness. Yeah, I'd frame this if he were my pooch :)

Cute dog, but the color cast is distracting. Work on the white balance and this would score better.
