The phrase "handsome dog" was made for him, Pat! The b&w is perfect for this portrait of Bo ~ which does indeed do him justice. Great use of "negative space", as well. #8277225

How do you do that stuff Sister Pat? (Make links and stuff!)

Your talents are surpassed by none!

No need to explain it to me. I wouldn't likely understand a word you said anyway...I am just marveling in admiration.

LOL I was one for ten years then quit. At the time Australia was on a dial up connection speed, a lot still are and clients couldn't get their head around how long it took to download fancy things like they saw overseas so I moved on to photography instead.
