 Ozzy at 4 months. An excellent and patient model!

More pictures in his owner's portfolio (p2jvr).

Thanks for the comments. I am disappointed this did not do better, but I have a couple of guesses why: the yellowing that Trynity Rose spotted is so irritating - invisible on my work computer and laptop, but so obvious on my home screen: I would have edited it out had I seen.

Otherwise, he is a very good pup and was very patient (although demanded food for pics!). I like this style of image, even if it is a little cutesy - it shows off some of his character.

I love this! Thought it would surely score higher. Wonderful perspective on this cute creature.

Good focus on the nose. The bigger head than body perspective is cute and reminds me of that range of products with the similiar look. Unfortunately the yellowing around the body is offputting. It looks like you had a bad white balance and painted around the empty spaces with white, but didnt get close enough to the body. Unless you painted out an entire room you can still get the isolated look with colors other than white, and you dont have to worry about white balance nearly as much to get the 'pure' color.

Strong pet portrait. Well done - despite, or perhaps because of, breaking the 'rules' about portraits. You've chosen to emphasise the disappearance of his eyes behind his fur (him, her?)and that works well - it makes a point about the reality of the animal, rather than just making him her it look cute.

Seems like it should be on the cover of a greeting card, don't you think?
