Luca ....

I had been asked by my friend to take a photo of her new little puppy Luca... Luca was a surprise gift from her Son and DIL.. and she wanted make a
canvas of my shot..
To get Luca to sit still was a bit of a challenge but I managed to get a few shots.. the other problem is he hairy face and getting any light in her eyes.. This is a slightly different edit than the final shot ..
Luca is a Cavoodle... Caviler Spaniel / Poodle

@starlea1 Thank you ... I did a bit of experimenting with the background .. also used calico ... but that just stripped the colour out of her...

I can see how difficult to get her eyes showing but you managed it beautifully. She has a very contented look about her, I think she is very cuddly indeed! No fur shedding either or so they say, all sounds good. You did her proud Julz!
