Despite the prosaic subject matter, I am very happy with the technically good outcome of this picture. The exposure, DOF, and focus were right on. It was an overcast day and the conditions were perfect to get this capture without blowing out the light colors of the Labradoodle as they would have been on a sunny day. I used ISO 400, F4.5 at 1/500 sec and a 70-200 IS lens hand held. Probably won't score very well but I like it anyway.

This is, of course, darling. Especially the look you captured on the dogs' faces. However, it does have a snapshot quality, which is too bad. Perhaps a closer crop and some intensification of the tones with levels or curves - or the whole image in BW - would have taken it up a notch.
