Just based on humor alone, this would be one of my top tens for this challenge. But I also like the bright tone of the composition as well as the attention to details you have given to your effort. And the dog? Well, when it gets back from the Republican fundraiser, give my regards.

Nice colors. I wish you hadn't cut the bottom off the inflatable flamingo. Good humor. How did you get the dog to sit still?

Very funny. I guess you tried the sunglasses but they did not quite work out? In any case, it's always fun to relax by the pool with one's friends. The pink theme works nicely I find the background - though carefully obscured by close cropping and good control of DOF - to be a little distracting. And I find the wealth of objects to be a little overwhelming.

I think the biggest problem with the photo is that the dog seems to be having much less fun than the photographer. In fact he looks both a little irked by the effort and peeved by the fact that there is not much he can do to get out of it. Or maybe he is just dreaming pensively of that French poodle he met at some other pool party long ago.

The dog does not look happy to be surrounded by this garish display but in a dogs world this is probably showing affluence.
