Out for fun in the snow. This is Pongo our family dog, he's 100% mongrel and we rescued him about 12 months ago. He's only 18 months old and still very playful but seriously loves the snow, this is one of the rare moments he was still!. He a fantastic pet and I got very cold getting this low down. I hope it does ok.

This 100% mongrel reminds me very much of the awesome mutt I had when I was a kid... she lived to be fourteen years old, and put up with a lot from we three were kids and then my son when he was a baby!

Nothing like a quality mongrel. This one kinda brought a tear to my eye cause it has the same type of hair and beautiful brown eyes. Yours looks part Wolfhound and part Australian Terrier.

Enjoy your dog. This is a great character shot and I hope you are very proud of it, cause you should be.

Nice perspective on this.... a "creative pet portrait". Like it.

darn... with a little more space at the top this would have scored a bit better, I think.

And there's an odd bit of green around his ear.

A tip to make it seem like there's space when there isn't is to put a very very narrow dark border all around and then add a wider white border (or whatever the photo is colored where you want to add space). That gives the eye more room above the dog. Still a 6 from me.
