Composition-content
Your dog is gorgeous!! As many of your comments said, perhaps the dog is a little close to the camera, a little more space at both the top and the bottom would set him off nicely. The off-centred composition is good, with good eye contact.

Background

Through the use of flash the background has gone nice and dark, which complemets his colours well. The carpet is a little distracting. Perhaps an outdoor shot would have been nice, set against some grass, with limited DOF turning the grass into a blur. Personally, I love to see animals outside running free, there is always a glint in their eyes and more expressive when they are running free!

Technical

Perhaps the DOF with the f2 is a little limited, I think that it could be nicer to have more of the dog in sharper focus. The flash is a little bright and colours have been washed out a little. Perhaps natural daylight would have been more flattering. Personally, I find flash pretty hard to use, it is pretty harsh, perhaps bouncing the flash would have softened it a little.

My Opinion

I am a sucker for dogs, especially labradors, so I love it! Good Luck in the next challenge!

I like the lighting used on the dog. I think by backing up away from the dog would have brought more intrest to the picture. Nice Work

The dogs expression is priceless. I don't like the effect of the flash on his eye though. - Inspzil

This is neat. His right eye and the right side of his mouth look like he is saying something and getting ready to wink at you. I wish you had left a ittle more on the top of the photo. It appears a little of the head, not much but a little, was cropped off. Beautiful dog and really nice photo. Just zoom out a little for me.

I would imagine that you're getting a lot of the same kind of comments as I am about some of the photo having too much "soft focus". The eyes are the important thing, and they are nice and clear. Love the nice close-up shot.
