Belgian Sheepdogs are beautiful dogs. Jet black fur.

A long fluffy coat. Looks luxurious to pet and snuggle.

I thought about cropping the photo to remove the person walking along side the dog from the image.

But there is something I like about that aspect in the image. The handler walking alongside the Belgian Sheepdog combined with the fence in the background helps to provide a sense of size.

The person at the edge of the image doesn’t detract from the image. But we can see Belgian Sheepdog’s significant size and stature.

The Belgian Sheepdog is not an overly large dog, but is not a small dog either.

I used a preset in Adobe Lightroom to bring out the texture in the Belgian Sheepdog’s fur.
