This is from the first day we brought Nala home. She had so much excitement from running around and playing with other dogs that she zonked out on the deck. At this time, she was about 10 weeks old.
This is back in the days of my S5IS, where I didn't have RAW files to edit, so the editing on this isn't the greatest. Also, the background is pretty distracting (although I tuned that down in post a bit), so I'm guessing this won't score the best, but I think it's adorable! (Taken 3/15/2009)

Cool! I just noticed that this photo is #9 on the highest scoring photos list for the Canon S5 IS.
