Something tells me that your dog (Border Collie wanna be or not) isn't going to win any prizes in the agility stakes :) This has definitely made me smile.

Lovely portrait, pleasing tones, sharp, excellent dof (Ha! auto-correct wants to change that to dog). The only bit I'm not so keen on is the fabric that has crept in to the lower right part of the frame - and it is super distracting.

Lovely dog, good interaction with photographer. My only quibble is that the dog is just a little too low in the frame - his (her?) paws are effectively cut-off.

You have the makings of a really good portrait here - gorgeous model, good exposure, pleasing pose from remarkably well behaved dog. I do though, wish that you had sited it further from the wall - definitely worth reshooting.

What Lurks Above

Spot on for the challenge. A Sandpiper of some sort? At any rate, from the Tringa family, and beautifully captured. The inclusion of the looming gull works really well for this challenge, although I am certain the as a stand-alone photo I would prefer it with clear negative space. In my top 5.

Cracking reflection, very well captured.I particularly like the way the foreground rocks mirror the converging clouds in the sky, all leading the eye to the hills and their reflection. Very nicely done.
As an aside, you have some sensor dust that you could do with cloning out before you print this for your wall. bumping to 9

That sunset must have been amazing! I particularly like how the light reflected on the water shows the pattern of the currents and water movement.

You have captured the lights of the city reflected in the water well. Not so keen on the converging verticals.
