She chose what I considered the worst image. She wanted a horizontal painting and the image was vertical. She didn't want the background to be too strong and in the image, the right eye of the dog was in such deep shadow, it was practically invisible.

She was thrilled with the final image and now she owns the original and her daughter has the large print.
