Well, I've sat here now for awhile looking, and I can't find all these 'deep' meanings. I've seen both movies and I'm still drawing a blank. Oh well. Blaming my own ignorance here.
I will start out by mentioning something no one else seems to have mentioned. The lighting on the dogs face is really harsh. Wipes out all the detail in his fur.
I'm not really sure what the boot means, especially sitting next to a sleeping dog wearing sunglasses, but It doesn't seem to fit, and actually takes away from the dog in sunglasses. As the boot is so dark, and the rest of the shot is so bright, it stands out and appears to be the main attraction, expecially being right in the middle of the shot, when the sunglasses are hugging the edge of the photo.
Focus and clarity appear to be good. There is good detail in the carpet, and also in the part of the dog that is not harshly lit. Love the detail on his nose especially. Really great texture there.
Angle and framing/cropping seem to be a bit off. I'd like to see the sunglasses not so close to the edge of the frame. I feel that they should be a more important part of the pic, and they just don't stand out well way out there.
Funny shot though with the dog wearing glasses.

Beautiful picture, but I'm afraid that trying to get pictures of pets into challenges cheapens the idea of having them for me... 5
