What a lovely shot! I wonder if you cropped from the right, she might have the negative space to the left and will pull the subject just off center. Great shot Richard!
@darylo Thanks for your comments Daryl - rightly or wrongly, I deliberately cropped this in from both sides to give a square format. I tried other options but I preferred the square crop and centre placing with the spotlight effect. It's all in the eye of the beholder...
Simplicity is hard to do well. It's like recipes with very few ingredients and steps - no place to hide. Always important to use quality materials. And thus you have used a star in Mitzi.
Love little Mitzi doggie! Unsurprisingly, I really like the spotlighting technique and the square crop. I tried a few squares today but they hit the floor. I think she'd make a great album cover. :)

What a sweetie!
Did you do the dark background in PS or LR?
