This is my beloved GSD called Simba (hence the title!). I really liked this picture when I first looked at it. Now I'm not so sure - is the background too distracting?
C&C more than welcome for this novice!

I did a gausian blur, and I cloned out the brown(fence maybe?) in the lower right hand side. It was a little distracting for me. Beautiful dog! I love GSD's and this is a very nice example. Yahoo photos must downsize them for me. :p Res Ipsa Loquitar:p

It would look like a regal portrait. Beautiful dog! Canon 50D, 40D, Tokina 12-24,Canon 18-55,Canon 28-135 IS, Canon 50 1.8,Canon 75-300 5.6,
