Nice strolling pose with good details in the whites Peter, a little bit centered so I would crop some from left and add room on right if you have it. devil

I really like the timing to get the "proud" posture and the stride, Peter. It's a bit centered, but a little more LH crop would still work great.

Beautiful pose and excellent detail, Peter. On my monitor it looks as if you could bring the exposure up a bit more without blowing the whites.

I really like the striding pose on this one. I do agree about Nate's suggestion and that of Dennis.

Love the self-confident pose ! The wet leg reflecting the light works nicely here. Well done, Cheers, Hans

Thank you for all the comments. I changed the crop to 3/4, this still gave the head room and move the Snowy off center.

Excellent striding pose, Peter. Techs look fine with a nice background and ideal light. The repost looks better and more balanced.
