Baxter again

The skies have cleared and the kids are back to school , so it was just me and Baxter in the snow today. Shot w/ 70-300mm/4.5-5.6 IS lens at SS1/400-F4.5-ISO400. Added the border so it would stand out from the white background here.
SOOC:After (cropped, brightened, slight up contrast, slight boost in saturation, and USM):

    Baxter is a great looking spaniel. Nice editing, makes him look black again.

    Love the crop on the second one. I love his eyes, and like how you can see the snow on his fur.

    The second one really works--very B&W, except for the punch of those gorgeous brown eyes. Nice!

    That is so pretty. I love what you did and the crop is awesome, as you still get that since of the snow, but Baxter is the star!

    Awesome crop! You did a really good job getting his coloring and cropping to keep the focus on his sweet little face.
