From the Critique Club:
Wonderful photo. I imagine it would have scored higher if it had not been amongst dozens of other dog photos. Hard to stand out in this challenge.
Composition: Excellent. The very first place my eyes went were to your dog's eyes and I was able to take in the entire image and emotion of the photo immediately.
Processing: I appreciate that you did not over sharpen. His/her face is very nicely sharpened while the rest of the body fades into softer focus. Nothing is competing for attention. Color and levels are very good.
Distractions: I would have to say that the harshness of the background (or lack thereof) detracts a bit. Ideally you could have a had a softer background to work with.
This is a good portrait of your dog. However, I think that in order to score up in the mid-6's or higher you would really have to move to a more creative pose; something other than a centered pose. But I think you accomplished what you set out to do. Congratulations.

Impressive. I'd have guessed a studio shot until I read the title. This image has great "pop" and interest right from the get-go. 8 |

Cute pose. The oranges look a little oversaturated on my screen and I'd like to move that collar/tag thingy that's hanging below his.her chin. |

nice shot but the editing is to harsh there are way to many jagged edges i think you would have had a better photo if you didn't try to take out the background and just cropped the image closer. nice try all the same |
