It seems to me there is too much criticism of this photo- "analysis paralysis" if you will. bottom line - it's a gorgeous photo of an incredible breed.

Too bright! And I think the centered subject is too...something.

This gives me a very classic feel for the old "ol'Roy" images. Very nice capture. Your pp tech seems to work very well.

I'm betting you were a little aggressive with the shadows/highlights tool on this one. A little more contrast probably would have been better here.

Nice looking dog and pretty blue sky. Maybe less centered or cropped to portrait orientation if you want to keep him centered.

Nice capture. Sharp and clean. The black point seems to be a bit too bright in this image probably due to the effect you were going for but I would try and strike a better balance with that. Also, to improve the clean aspect even more I would clone out those 3 stray grass blades near the top on both sides.

more contrast would make this stronger - particularly blacker blacks.

could use some contrast. and i dont think the border works. cute dog.

the contrast has been lost in the processing of this shot...a great pose and composition, but slightly washed out

Looks like this image needed a lot of work to recover details in the shadows.
You lost contrast and saturation in the process.
I'm not a fan of the central composition either.
