Last minute photo of my dog and cat snuggling together on the dog blanket.

Used Photoshop. Did a crop, cloned in a bit more of the dark blue blanket, brighten it up, toned down the hot spot, and did unsharp mask. That's it.

looks like a snapshot to me, happiness or sleepiness?

The poses complement one another, but somehow this still feels too much like a snapshot to me.

Very cute! My dog and cat get along but don't sleep together. I think cause puppy is too squirmy. Perhaps taken more towards thier level from the right rather than a bird's eye view to make it more portrait-like. ?

The lighinting looks a little flat for my taste.

Very hard exposure which you did a good job on, but the background really lets this down. Quality of the light doesn't help in creating a mood.

white balance? is it all too blue? cute scene but not a cute photo - what if you crop it into a portrait orientation and discard the left half of the photo which is only butts - might make the mood of their faces stand out more?
