Not exactly high-contrast, but here's two from a rare occasion when I was able to get her to come back on command.

C&C welcome.

Shot with a 5D, 70-200 f/2.8 L IS.

#1- I like this shot and the feel to it, but I would have tried maybe not to cut off his body (top&bottom).

#2-Same thing. I really like the feel of this shot, but since he's glancing the the right you might want to frame him more to the left, and try not to cut of his tongue.

In addition, you might want to try to clean his eyes, and wipe the eye "gunk" off. (in PS perhaps, and also in actuality :D). To help make it more appealing.

Nice work, I just thought i'd give a little encouraged criticism, because it seems that too often on here people just say "I like it!" and give no info. Hope this helps!

I love the first one, I think if you would have turned it so it was an up and down shot instead it would have been perfect!

Great shots!

Greatly appreciated. And had it been my dog, I would have cleaned her eyes (in real life). I don't need to clean someone else's dog :)

Thanks (to all) for the notes on the crop/orientation and positioning within the frame.
