| That is one sad looking puppy dog, but everything about this is well done, especially the lighting. |

| What an excellent pet portrait! The lighting is fabulous. Love the way it highlights the edges of the dog's ear and rear leg. |

Feel the emotion Lydia! Come over to the dark side of dogs, leave the turtles and frogs behind.

This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: the puppy fits perfectly in the frame, and his eyes fall right in the rules of thirds, drawing me into his gaze. nicely done
color: sepia is a perfect choice for the mood, very soft and comforting
contrast: maybe a little less contrast between his face and the arm of the chair would have been nice, but at the same time, i like it, so im at a draw in that department, haha.
focus: spot on, his eye is in perfect focus
depth of field: awesome. glad you used a wide aperture so those eyes can really pop
lighting: gorgeous lighting, great find.
other: i love this photo. The lighting and mood of it just evoke comfort and lazy Saturdays. I hope you are proud of this shot, you should be. And that ear propped up? Is just about the cutest thing...ever. Congrats on the top 10 finish! Hope this comment was useful to you. If you have anymore questions, feel free to PM me anytime.

| Good choice to use duo-tone to emphasize how the dog and the sofa blend together. |

| I really like this. Perfect choice of DOF, particularly the OOF foreground feetsies, and love the light on the face, the ear on the pillow, the texture of the couch. Excellent conversion, comp, etc. Just an all around very enjoyable photograph! |

Very cute doggie. I'm a really sucker for these puppies pictures!!!
The cute look in doggies eyes is adorable and just says "give me a good score...ppp--ppp--ppp---leeeease" and the ear flapped over the arm of the chair is excellent in terms of photographic composition.
Nice tones, I think it's a good example of sepia tones and textures. |

| How sweet! Great choice in B&W. The blurry spot just below his/her eye is a little distracting but overall a great shot! |
