Viking- portrait

My dog, Viking, just like my cat, Ace, although both are different nationality, if you can say it about a pet, have one thing in common. They just hate me trying to catch a picture of them. I was very lucky to catch Viking sitting calm, on the uniform background of the wall of the house, and was able to take several nice portrait photos of him. I thought that making it black and white will put the accent on the dog, as he fur is yellowish, and the wall was really bright orange.
