Clouds portrait is finished. I'm calling it 'Little Giant,' as anyone who knows one of these pint-sized dogs can attest to. I really like how the pose captures the breeds dignity, intelligence and heart. How I love this little dog!
A look back... Remember the original photo - beautiful head pose on an otherwise goofy photo? I raised his head up a little and changed his back to make him sitting down:

Kathleen it's just wonderful!! If Cloud could talk, I'm sure he'd tell you the same thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so right in the "Little Giant" syndrome Rat Terriers have. Cindy Sue is the same way. She's a little toughie.
Great job!
