[crazycreature11]

i like # 3 and # 4 more ... the rest dont match upto the mark

 

[Antarctican]

Nice ones! Your pitbull makes a great model. Very 'smart' looking in the specs

They had an article in the paper (Dallas Morning News) about this issue (unresponsible pitbull owners) a week or two ago. I can't believe that they want to ban the breed because of the people that want a "mean dog" and don't know how to train it. Punish the owner, not the dog.

#3 is my favorite, hard to imagine what it would look like on a button though. Good work on all of them.

[Iron Flatline]

Colors are nice.

Needs a hat!

Nice job on these. #3 to me looks the best. And I agree with O|||||||O ... don't punish the animal for what is clearly humans fault.

thanks a lot

exactly --
it's horrible how all of the irresposible owners are ruining it for the rest of us.
I shouldn't have my dog taken away because another owner hasn't a brain in their head.

Needs a hat!

and maybe a bowtie!

Nicely done Saralyn. I really like the first three colour shots, for the expression, and colour, and the #5 black and white image. Great lighting and expression on that one.

Ha not what I was expecting. Good chuckle

 

[sarallyn]

thank you
i'm very happy with the way these came out.

I personally like # 3 and 5. 3 has the best pose and wonderful lighting. 5 i think also conveys the message, "Hey, I'm not as dumb as you think I am, Learn more." a very good looking puppy too. i have a pit / malamute mix that i got from petsmart on adoption day from HEART.

I have to say that I really enjoy looking at these. I found myself coming back for a second look too.
