thanks to all who commented. Bulent - I agree a little more on top
would have been good. Content aware fill in Photoshop might fix that!
The background is uniform-enough for that I think.
Amazing what a 30+ year old lens (A*200/2.8) can do - Ken Rockwell
will never appreciate that I guess!

lovely mood. I feel it would be a stronger composition if you
cropped some from the left - the hat and coat? and a little more. You
want the viewer to concentrate on the outstretched paw and face - and
making them a little more central would help do this.
