| Looks like a beauty here but for the "portrait" I would loved to have seen more of the face. |

| I would have loved to see the front of this beautiful dog's face and possibly show some emotion such as a 'happy' smile or sad eyed face. Here, the composition shows us the back side of the head which does little to hold interest for the viewer because it lacks the emotion or visual interest that one can typically show with a facial portrait. If you capture an animal from a back view there has to be some dynamic action present like showing the dog in a ready to leap position as he/she watches a ball being kicked or the begging dog is watching someone preparing a delicious steak dinner. Including a dynamic action would have some interest to the shot. But as the composition stands now, all we see is the backside of a dog's head. What the dog's face might look like, we don't know. What emotion is on the dog's face (happy, sad, or curious), we don't know. Don't show the viewer less of your main subject, you need to show us more. |

| 4 - Like to have seen Zip turn around. Looks like a good shot with some snow(?) on his/her nose. |

| I wish I saw the face, not the back, because I think that's a wonderful dog. |

| I would have liked this better if we could see Zip's face and what I am assuming is snow on his or her nose. |

| Great focus and detail, however I expect to see a face included in a portrait. |

| Love the back of Zip's head and ear. (Hope that's snow on Zip's nose). |

| Aside from it's a dog, the portrait tells me nothing about the animal. |

| I dig it. We don't have to see his face. Do you know that I wrote an entire novel called "Zip the Dog"? 7 |

| Good focus, lighting, and white background; but I think the shot may be leaving out some of the more interesting parts of the dog's face. The eyes can make a great focal point, and here my eyes don't really find one. |
