What a cute Dachsy ... don't think i've seen entries from you before. Good first try. I can see the apprehension in the expression. A little dark ... but definitely shows something's happening offscreen unlike some others here. Would have been better if cropped and a little lighter ... but like i said ... good first try and in keeping with the subject.

Cute dog. I thought it could be more creative.

There's a nasty shadow behind the dog, and you've got him right smack in the middle! Rule of thirds!

What a sweet dog. I would have cropped this closer or taken the picture much closer to the dog. There is too much empty space around him and the photo isn't the most clear.

This picture is out of focus, the flash causes horrible shadows, and the texture of the background is very distracting.

I don't get the feeling of an off screen expectation from this...maybe if the dog was sitting up and begging??

I think it would have made more an impact if he/she was in the kitchen, begging :)

critter is too dark - the rug is right, but you need to get more light or more exposure on fido there so we can see the expression/fur.

Focus on the eyes. Think its the most important thing when photograping animals.

Well done. Might have tried a closer shot froma lower angle.

i would like to see you come in closer to the dog to reveal facial expression, too much beige carpet in shot makes for boring subject. Flash is always harsh-use a more diffused source-like sun thru window or 60 watt or higher bulb lamp.

Strange angle for the shot. The dog doesn't have enough detail / definition against the light camera. I presume the camera was metering the carpet too to make the shot a bit odd. Could've been cropped much much tighter too.

Challenge met. Lighting and contrast could be better in this shot.

what a cutie! I know this breed is very hard to photograph ( in an odd sort of way!). What a doll!!

Meets the challenge, but not a very appealing image. The light is really flat, the environment is very sterile, uninteresting, the pose of the dog is nothing special, there is a strong shadow behind the head caused by the flash. I would suggest to give more thought to environment and light, for example have the dog stand against a desk or table, looking for food, while you have some props around where you show you are preparing your own.
