Default Portrait of a Dog.

This is my cousins dog... it was incredibly difficult to catch her at a time when she wasn't running around... any criticisms?

I understand the difficulty getting a nice portrait of an active dog. I myself have tried.

That said I quite enjoy this portrait. I think the only thing that I could say is it would be nice to see a little bit more of his/her head. The ear on the right has been cut off a little bit. Other than that this is really nice.

The eye looks so beautiful!
I agree with mappleby a little more of the face would be a better composition
