This is my new boy on his first hiking trip.

You have yourself a very handsome boy. I would love to hear more about him.
Temperment, show plans, trainablity, age, ......etc. I cannot wait to see more images.
As far as this shot goes, I would square up the image and cut out the tree and bring him in closer. Might be my monitor but I would like to see it a bit darker.

Beautiful shot - I agree with Julie that the image appears a bit bright on my monitor. I look forward to hearing more about your new beastie and seeing more photos.

nice image, and great pose. I too see blown highlights, but it's nice photo. . .
