Wow, I love that winning photograph. I looked at the images on your website, and they are really fantastic. Congratulations.

Would love to hear a tip or two you might have for others on how to get such great photos of dogs. My camera's meter goes nuts when I try to photograph a black lab against a black background.

Many thanks everyone.

MileHighAko, the best and simplest way to expose for any subject is to use a light meter In this case using off camera flash. Once you shoot a few scenes you get feeling for the settings needed on the flash vs. distance from subject to get the right exposure.
