I really love your dog - I wish there was eye contact and unfortunately there is a big hot spot on the side of her face and then a heavy shadow on the left side of her body. That being said, we have a golden puppy ourself - and I wouldn't have attempted a non-action portrait shot! She just won't sit still for that long and if I tired her out she'd have laid there on her back with her tongue hanging out :-) LOL So, what I am saying is - hats off to you!!
