Ken - I like the pose and crossed legs as well as the catchlight in the eye. However, once again, I feel the yellows are too strong and need to be reduced.
TFS,

Rachel,
The yellows look OK to me on my monitor. The fur of Wild Dogs differs greatly, in fact it is claimed that each one is the equivalent of a fingerprint. I have seen them varying from almost pure white to black and a multitude of colours in between and many many times.

Nice POV, great light on head, eye, mouth, ears. Sunlight but not harsh or blown/blocked, well done. Yellow looks fine to me, in fact when I look at ground/sand has a hint of blue, so, perhaps could be even a bit "warmer"?
Front legs crossed, Ken you must have the best collection of wild dogs with their legs in crazy positions !!

great pose and well exposed Ken
yellow looks fine to me
do you perhaps have a sliver more space on top and RHS? or is this FF?![]()
looks good to me....fine portrait
A nice frame filling pose and comp. May be this different monitor I'm on at the moment but this one also looks like it could use a touch more contrast. I hit it with a bit of the USM contrast trick and it brought out more pop (probably already know but about 25% for amount, radius to taste if you haven't heard of this one)
Missed the editing deadline by 1 minute. Disregard comment about contrast, looks much better on my regular monitor.
Thanks everybody for your comments,
Morkel,
All space around the dog is as usual full of other Wild Dog bits this is about 50%
Makes sense then, Ken!![]()
