James - very nice, though they do look a little pinkish on my calibrated monitor. Nice color on the pup and I love the blue eyes. Did you use any diffusers on the speedlites?

I'm looking to try to help out some rescues in the area with photos. I think these kids look much more adoptable to people in photos like these rather than the typical photograph that the rescues have to take with stuff in the background, leads, etc. It puts their best "paw" forward when someone is looking to rescues one of these poor kids. Bravo for your good deeds.
