Hey Dave! I like the composition, colors and the painted look. Maizey may not like it much, but I would clone out the tail. I find it draws my eye away from her face. Was this done in Corel Painter?3/5/2007 6:31:51 PM

Thank you everyone. I took your advice and cropped out the tail. I think it is a much better image after looking at it for a while. #4025472Cassie L. Woodlee March 05, 2007

I adore Labs, and this one is no exception. Great dark room work, Dave! I wouldn't worry too much about the tail, if it isn't wagging, it's not a labrador! LOL!! #4027882Susie Peek-Swint March 06, 2007
