Up Fez, Up!!!

Cute, very cute. The expression is priceless, would like to know just how you did this.

While a cute shot, black animals can be a nightmare to shoot, I know, having 2 black cats in my home and 4 black horses at Gale's barn, lighting is everything. While Fez stands out very nicely against the white backdrop a lot of his detail gets lost in the light. I can barely see his paw on the right of the shot. A 7

Awww, Charlie is adorable! Love the expression!

Very nice frontal shot, the sad look and all but the light seems a tad harsh and the rug does nothing for the shot to me personally. Softer lighting and a more solid background and floor might help. A 7

And Everywhere That Mary Went...

Her Lamb was sure to go! Just how many comments say that, LOL!

Cute shot, very sweet but lacks the "wow" factor. The colors on the grass are fantastic but the lamb seems very dull in comparison. Maybe if you went more for a facial shot? As it stand, the lamb actually gets a bit lost in all the frame and space. A 7

Nice capture, fish can be very hard to photograph. I like the composition of the shot, the colors, though they seem just a touch washed out but that may be Wanda's true colors! The edge around her on the right seems to sharp for some reason, can't quite place my finger on it, but it's just a nit picky thing that jumps out at me personally. A 7

Babe is adorable and so sweet looking! Nice shot but the colors seem for some reason. The focus also seems to be a factor though not OOF, there are some areas that seem overly soft. The lighting is also just a tad dull, tough when you are shooting outdoors. A 6

Yes he is! I love those souful eyes! So gently yet I just know if I go or do something I'm not supposed to do he'll let me know! ;)

Nice shot, I like the angel of coming down but the flash left a big shadow and blew out the white on his chest. A 6

Sam is so precious! I love little dogs like these, so cute and trusting and loyal!

This is a nice shot, the composition works well with the extra room on the left and the DOF also works well here. My only complaint is the coloration, his ear seems so orange compared to the rest of him and if that's the way he is, sorry but it just seems a bit over done for some reason. A 6 to start but Sam is talking to me saying if he doesn't at least gat a 7 he's going to come over and chew up all my wires so I'll give you an 8 just to be safe! :)

Awwwwwwwwwww, George is beautiful! How many treats did he get for being so patient? LOL!

I love this shot, just one tiny little thing kept it from being perfect and I originally scored it at a 9 but the one thing is so tiny I'm going to overlook it and make this a 10. Oh, the one thing? The white stray hair on his ear. :)

Just You and I.....

The title made me think of the song with the same name, LOL!

A girl and her best friend, a black dog, a very hard to capture on film or digital black animal. I know, there are 4 black horses at the barn and 2 black cats in my home and it's pure luck when I get a good shot of them, LOL!

I like the idea but it's not really about friends or pets and their owners, it's more the pets themselves. The back lighting is a bit too much, just a slight smudgen too much, causing the dark dog to look even darker with no real defining feature. Cut the girl out, play with the levels and you got a contender there! As is a 6

Hey! I called shotgun seat!

Yes he does! Love the expression on his face.

The shot is lacking in light and luster. Nothing really jumping out at me and making me say, "THIS IS THE ONE!" It's a great shot but the dull colors and bit of noise are all a bit distracting and takes too much from the shot. A 6
