Dirk B&W

This is another portrait of Dirk. My Border Collie puppy.
Here's totally B&W, not only the hair

I'm not sure I really like the very, very, very selective focus on this one, though it IS on the eye, and we always say that's where the focus should be when you photograph your pet. But I can hardly recognise that this is the photo of a dog. Ah, hang on, I only now see the second eye. He's eyeing us upside down, as it were? Took me a long while to see that! Still ... some more DOF would be nice.

thanks you very much for your interesting comment LaFoto!
It was a test of the Porst 55 f/1.2 at full aperture so the focus is a bit too much selective

I like this, it has motion to it. A little bit more light on the left eye might have made that eye pop more... but I can't decide if it would have actually help the photo or not.

thanks mimstrel.. Yes maybe it's true about the light!
