The competition is so high in this challenge that I feel this one didn't make it out of that medium. Dont get me wrong though the photo is a delight, and there isn't know technical disadvantage on your part. It just doesn't have flare. I hope this isn't too critical, because the pup is beautiful. Its just in this challenge you have Christmas costumes, props, expensive studio lights, and advanced editing. All of it accumulates to leaving this in the middle somewhere.

Gorgeous dog. I like the composition and lighting, I just wish I could see his eyes better...I wish they were lit a little more. Nice job though. 8

Boris is a beauty. Love those eyes and ears. Would like a different color background to really make him stand out.

Wow - great shot. I love the tightness and cropping. Good capture with his expression too. Good luck in the challenge.

Wow! This is the kind of portrait I wanted to do and I can see where I went wrong. Beautiful, noble dog. Lighting, focus and pose all perfect to me. Good luck. I hope to see Boris at the top!

Ah, a much better shot of Boris than the Soft Focus II Challenge. Great expression with soulful eyes but the mouth is a little lost in the shadow.

This is a beautiful portrait. I love the richness you've brought out in the processing! One of my favorites!

Boris is a beautiful dog. the lighting, clarity and composition of this photo is wonderful.

5 - Quite a good 'studio portrait' of Boris, however in my opinion the background is a little 'bland' and the pose perhaps a little.. 'uninteresting'. The darker areas seem to need attention too.

Very nice. I love his coloring and facial expression. The lighting could be "upped" just a smidge, but black on a dog is so hard. I have a solid black one and I know.... 7

Stunning lighting, textures, and the expression is a good capture for this breed of dog. Noble.

Great composition and focus all over. The catchlights in the eyes are perfect and the perky ears make for a great expression.

Very strong yet gentle portrait. I would like a little more fill light but that's just me. I hope you do well with this.

Majestic pose; lost the detail in the dark areas.

Lovely pose, and soft lighting here. An "8" from me...
