Great capture, Charles! So nice when they cooperate and sit still. :smile: I like your comp, BG, lighting, and the good details on the dasher. The wavy color in his eyes is interesting to see.

The contrast looks a bit strong here, but perhaps these are darker colored in your area. A really nice comp and detail, with a great BG. :wavey:
