Pretty pup

Overall I'm pleased with this shot but before I get too excited I'd like some experienced critiques. My main concern is the light on top of her head...is it too blown out? I noticed I cut off part of her toes is it really noticeable?





Sidenote: I can see myself in the reflection of her eyes and I'm not sure if that's OK or not.

I bumped up the vibrance a bit and added a slight vignette in LR.

Any other suggestions you'd like to give is greatly appreciated.

Great pic and great looking dog!
Maybe the recovery slider in LR can eliminate a bit of that light on the top of the head.

Thank you both for the compliments and for taking the time to look at my shot and provide feedback.

Cute dog! I'm thinking the angle is a little strange for me ... maybe if you got down to the dog's level and posed her in light shade you could have eliminated the bright lights and eye reflection issues ...
