I like the close crop, and b&w seems to work well for this shot. However, there's a wide tonal range in the subject (quite harsh lighting), and on my monitor it looks like some of the highlights are blown, particularly right above the eye. Looks like a sweet dog, BTW.

Thanks for your comments Aegea
Here's a version based on your comments. I edited the RAW and add a ND filter effect,is it any better?

The second version is much better!!

I noticed that the upper left corner and bottom right corner of the 2nd version seems a bit odd,so here's my 3rd version..

here's the 2nd version for easy comparison..

and here's the original..

The third version looks very nice - shows the advantages of shooting RAW!
