Probably a stupid comment, but if I let my imagination wander, it looks to me like Charlie is wearing grey lipstick.

Wow, those eyes! It feels like he’s staring right into the depths of my soul. (A comment I’m sure I’ve made here before, but even more so in this photo).

Just. Wow.

So close, my heart about stops… Amazing, even for photographer and this subject.

I love those soft, liquid brown eyes – they make me just melt. What a beauty!

Geez, Shreve, you should post a warning before posting a soul-stirring photo like this… wow. So unbelievably dear. Wish I could plant a smooch on that sweet face.

I love that photo. You see into his soul!

Very creative perspective. I like to photograph my dogs and it can be challenging at times to get them to respond at the camera. I’d love to know the behind the scenes way of how you got a shot like this. Because of the depth of field going on here it’s apparent that you were inches away from his face with the camera. I’ve got to see if my dog would be as curious. She shuts down a lot when she sees me with a camera. Border collies are too smart sometimes.

T ~ It’s far more about the animal and their opinion of the camera than any behind-the-camera techniques of mine – Charlie has loved to model since our first days together; not all canines do!

You are absolutely right. I’ve had a male Australian Shepherd who loved to pose and could care less if I was pointing something at him. i’ve also have/had 2 border collies and it is very difficult with them because they are so hyper-aware of everything going on around them, extremely sensitive dogs. My female these days will actually drop and lay down with her head on the ground when she sees my camera. She wants no part of modeling. I’m happy that Charlie likes the camera. He’s such a cooperative subject!

I could use a nice furry pup to cuddle up with this morning.
It’s aprox -35 here with the wind chill. Going down to -40 tonight. Anyone wondering C or F, it is irrelevant at that temp.
Standing at the kitchen window with a steaming hot cup of coffee watching some young guys running around shovelling snow off the stairs and sidewalks. Oh to be so young and energetic.
