Thanks for taking the time to cc my photos, Kelly!

Does his face being "hot" mean that it's close to being blown?

I had him turned at around a 45 degree angle from the light source (door). I'm a beginner with all of this and kind of like the shadowed look but maybe it's too much? I have used a piece of white, foamcore board for a reflector when photographing my kids that works well, perhaps I should have used it here.

I didn't think about male dogs and crotch shots before (obviously!). Thanks for the tip. I'll be more careful about that from now on.
