 A cousin to my dogs, at about 8 weeks of age. Rather exhausted from exploring outside so she lay down in the shade of the tractor. I like that she has grass stuck to her nose; puppies do stick their noses everywhere!

Taken September 14, 2007.

PP - converted from RAW, tonemapped in qtpfsgui (pregamma 0.697, mantiuk method, contrast mapping 0.1, saturation factor 1.029, detail factor 1), reduced noise on tonemapped layer and merged at 20% transparency, cropped, white balance, cloned out a bright spot in the back, slight vignette to blur background more, colored eyes more vibrant brown and dodged/burnt/cloned to emphasize detail and remove stray reflections, resized, sharpened, added border.
