PUG in black and white... any suggestions?

I took this picture a while back, and it seems to be one of my favorites of this dog. It was just a quick little snapshot, as dogs are a lot like kids when it comes to asking them to sit and wait for me to get everything JUST RIGHT on the camera! Any comments or suggestions? I am always looking for ways to improve my photography skills, and this is the perfect place to do so! Thanks to all who are willing to lend a helping hand!

lol i think thats awesome. is that a reflection of you in your child's eye?

Thanks, brunester... nope, i don't believe it's a reflection of me. He is blind, and had an ulcer on that eye, which, unfortunately, left him with an indentation in that eye. He's still my baby though!

Cute pic of one of my favorite dogs. Though, it's sepia, not black and white. Did a black and white conversion, since you've got edit OK.

Love the shot....
Almost looks fish eye / wide angle. I guess thats just the nature of the dogs scrunched up face.

Thanks! Actually, it was the kit lens i believe... took it right after i got my xt if i remember correctly. Got the camera for christmas LAST year...

Would LOVE to have a fisheye, though!

How can you not just love the little puggie face! Like Thomas S I want a close up shot too that makes their head look big and body small. Here is my best puggie face, just thought I would share.

AWWWW that's such a great picture, and a good lookin dog, too! I wish my dog still had good eyesight... he's blind in both eyes

By the way, what lens did you use? that picture is just so sharp and clear.

IMPRESSIVE!

That my 24-70 L. Worth every penny! I truly could get rid of just about every other lens in my bag!
