good detail and composition. not exactly a color that reaches out and grabs you, but good nonetheless

7 - Nice pose captured. 'If only' the light in his right eye the same as his left, but difficult. Perhaps a more refined crop at the bottom just above his hind leg, maybe losing the collar too and this bigger - 720, give this a lot more impact. Lighting is nice showing the sheen in his coat. Up to 7 from 6.

Very nice subject for this challenge. I like the natural finds rather than the many studio setups...

This photo is fairly well composed and details are fine. However, it really seems underexposed. Did you check the histogram? A minor tweak with curves, levels, or a histogram slider could liven this up a little.

All JMO of course. :-) Good luck in the challenge.

He looks like he knows it, too - that he's the best dog ever. He looks like he takes that job very seriously and with a lot of heart.

The green of the collar actually works. The big old caribeener attached to it doesn't.

Good photo with the heron. Nice detail of the feathers and head of the bird. good reflection upon the water.

Absolutely beautiful. I think it falls a little short for the challenge, but it's a great shot.
