Julie,
very nice. There are a couple of things I find distracting, however. In #1, the fingers in her lap distract me from enjoying the head. I'd clone those out.

I like #5 the best of all of them with some cleaning up of the background, etc. #3 would be perfect if the tongue weren't out. That's the hardest part of shooting dogs outside this time of year. I was asked to shoot some Rotties at a dog show today in Orlando and it's 95 degrees outside. I told the people if they wanted to have shots of their dogs with their tongues hanging down to the ground that'd be fine but otherwise, let's try to shoot them at dawn.

The lighting in these shots is beautiful and both subjects are very photogenic. There are just a few little things to clean up in post-production.

Nice job.

Jim
