 Taken during an Irish Wolfhound specialty dog show (it was just for IWs ... 241 of them!). The judges were very thorough, so judging started at 8:00 am Sunday and ran through 7:00 pm, then started again at 8:30 Monday and ran through about 3:00 pm. This was taken Sunday as the sun was setting, giving all the dogs that lovely golden glow. The lighter colored dogs looked particularly lovely.

I had to pick this out of your series in the thread. I adore Irish Wolfhounds. This is a beautiful, beautiful portrait.

Lovely portrait here, the golden light is doing this dog all kinds of favors. Such big, sturdy dogs with such delicate ears.
