Looking back over the past year at my many, many canine photos there have been a few that stand out for me. Photography and art in general is a very personal. What you dislike, someone else may love. What you might love to put on your wall, another may consider it a shoulder shrugging piece. I pretty much love all images of dogs, no matter what breed or mix it is. What I look for in my favorites is something that stirs emotion, any emotion.

These are a few of my favorite, that were close at hand. I have many more but you might be all day looking at them. Happy 2011 everyone.
