Hey there from the Critique Club

First off, always try to include some info about the shot in the Photographer's Comments section. It really helps out when we know what the photographer was thinking and what equipment/lighting/etc. were used, especially when you request a critique. Secondly, welcome to DPChallenge!

Camera Work/Technical: Great depth of field use and nice exposure. Your darks and lights all have the detail that they need, and nothing is under or over exposed. I think that the focus is just a little off, with more clarity on the hair in front of the eyes, rather than the eyes themselves.

Lighting: It looks like you used natural light for this one. You used it well, keeping the exposure in control, as well as capturing some very nice catchlights in the pup's eyes. I'd like to see a little more balanced lighting on the right side of the frame, but not much is needed.

Composition/Content: Nice composition and pretty good use of the rule of thirds. I think your angle for the shoot could have been decreased just a bit, getting more level with the pup. My only real complaint is that lone hair sitting on the black fabric in the left side of the frame.

My Opinion: I think that this one fits the challenge well. With a little different composition and a bit more lighting, this one could have probably reached the 6 mark.

Lovely eyes. Image needs better exposure, though. Your fur detail came out quite nice.

Cute. I might have cropped the left in a little farther to have more focus on the dog though.

Unique in the challenge. You might want to get down a little closer to the level of the pup and fill the frame.

great sharpness of the eyes. Seems a bit annoyed from the expression. A refreshing change from most dog shots. Good luck in the challenge!
