Matt - what a beautiful bitch. I'm a sucker for greyhounds/whippets/Italian greyhounds. The only thing I don't like is the dark object on the right hand side - maybe crop or clone? Other than that, she's gorgeous !!!!!

Great capture Matt. What a shame the shadow wasn't even, right across her. Still, it's the most minor of niggles in what's, overall, a lovely piece.

A brother of mine had greyhounds for years, ending up as much loved pets (one reached 17 years old! Normally a greyhound doesn't live past about 2 or 3 years then most of them headbutt a bullet, disgusting I know but a cruel statisic)...
I have never found a more placid, and house oriented dog than a greyhound, a wonderful breed of dog for a family pet... Except for their particular view on pussy cats maybe

...
Is this a whippet or something? I assume the eye color is from a flash?

Proverbs 30:29-31
"There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going: A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up."

Sorry Matt, my post was ambiguous, just brought a few Scriptures to mind! Yes, I do like the image. I'm not a great fan of greyhounds myself, most probably because I have had nothing to do with them. King Solomon obviously liked them. (I and my family am dachshund nuts!)
Your photo here is one of those keepers which will remind you of the dog for a long time.
Cheers,
Max
