Here is the original photo edited in RAW. The dog is a striking colour, I'll enter the original but wanted to give the owner a sketch of her young Malinous, it's only ten months of age. ~Pat #1263990

What a great pose, Pat. Look at that barely bridled muscle power and the extraordinary attention. The sketch effects are very nice to emphasis those qualities. #8580798
