This is Nellie. She's a girl, but doesn't mind wearing a tie as long as there are liver treats in the vicinity. I'm not thrilled with the lighting here (need to learn to use my lights!), but I liked her pose.

From the Critique Club:

Absolutely wonderful. This is a very successful photo. This really stands out amongst all of the other dog images in this challenge.

Composition: I like the composition alot. The movement of the tie flowing to the foreground gives this photo a lot more depth and saves it from being just another portrait.

Lighting: Perfect. You did a very nice job with balancing the lighting and creating nice soft shadows that really support and enhance this photo. I think the background is as strong as the subject.

Thank you for the subtle border. Just enough. Only thing that I think detracts is the fact that her eyes are not as visible as I would want them to be. But that is the hair cut.

Great job.

A weensy bit cliche. However, it is something different to look at and the shading of colors and the shadow behind to the right adds dimension.

Woderfully patient dog :- )

Nice idea and lighting - the only thing that would have improved this for me would be if he was looking straight at the camera

Just another day at the office,How cute. Good job with setting up the dog but watch the shadows on the back side. A small fill light would have been very useful here.
