Chili
My sisters beautiful dog Chili. He lived with me for 6 months when he was a puppy and he is the most loving chocolate labrador. He will put up with kids climbing on him and pulling his tail and ears (if we arent around to stop them!!). This was taken after a day of soccer matches and playing on the beach – he was getting tired so it was a good chance to snap some shots. One of my first outings with the 50mm f1.4. Not sure if i have the DOF right here but i love his expression!
Chili belongs to the following groups:
All Out Emotion, Everyday Life, Our K9 Friend, Petshop CS2 and You're AcceptedAvailable for sale as Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

I trained my friends chocolate labs. Chili looks enough like one of them to fool my friend. Oh the stories I could tell. But I won’t do that to you.

Looks really good to me. I just bought a 50mm F1.8 and am playing around with that. The eyes being the only part in focus make this really wonderful. Well done!

Love his adorable face. I have a black lab (second one), and he is “always” excited and happy to see me. They are wonderful dogs
