Thank you everyone for your wonderful and helpful comments!

Woohoo! My first ribbon!

On another note, I cannot even guess as to how much dog saliva I had to clean off my lens for this challenge... :~)

I didn't get to this one before the challenge ended so I'll do it now. I love this shot, I gave this shot an 8 originally but if I had gotten back to it would have bumped it up, not sure if all the way to 10 but at least to a 9 but you didn't need me ;)

What got to me about the shot was simply the dark shadow in front of his leg. It's almost as if the body came out of nowhere, the rest of the shot is wonderful. I know it's a nit picky thing and I'm sure you just want to bask in your glory like they are basking in their sunlight and fame, so Congrats and job well done. Now, go give them some treats! :)
