Greetings from the Critique Club :)

This is a beautiful pet portrait. I love the implied 'blue' expression in the dog's eyes. Capturing an emotion in an animal is a challenging task and you have done very well with it here :)

I really like the opposing diagonal created between the line connecting the eyes and the color on the dog's nose... That's a nice bit of 'eye candy' in this image...

As I look at your camera settings, i can see that the ISO 800 is the cause of the grain in this image as well. In my opinion, that grain is not well suited to this particular image. If you had converted to black and white, that grain would look more appropriate possibly.

Very interesting photo... keep up the good work :)

those eyes!

My first instinct was to say this was too close-up, but the look in the eyes is just too perfect. muckpond

I may have seen sadder eyes, but I can't recall when. Nice touch with the blue color. Technically, very well done.
I'm a sucker for this one. A 10.

This dog is certainly looking blue.

Sorry, maybe it's a bit too close, maybe it's the heavy grain. I like the expression, but it's sooo common for dogs. 5 Swash

He has such sad eyes. Why didn't you do this one in color so we could get his full beauty? Great clear close up. Nice job. PTL

I really like the unusual composition of this photo...I really don't like "this is my dog" pictures...I feel more emotion in this close-up shot.
