Great dog portrait! It is very well composed picture, with well pronounced leading lines taking us from ears to the nose which is a main focal point IMO. I like that there is no distraction in the background so we can fully appreciate the futures of the dog's face.

i dont like the fact that you cant see the backround it would make it more interesting and better . oh and why is he waiting what did he do like you know make it seem real like maybe put a frisbee or ball or a bone in his mouth! good try though.

6 I would have gone higher if the background wasn't cutting through his head.
