This is Tucker, my Greyhound. Taken with natural window light, as he was relaxing on his bed. Greyhounds are the second-fastest land animal on earth (behind the Cheetah), but they are really big-old couch potatoes. :) I'm guessing this won't score above mid-5 (at best), but it's been ages since I entered a challenger here. Enjoy!

This is a great pic that can still be brought up a bit in post production.

He's a beautiful boy.

I find this difficule to judge.
Possible y little dark.
The texture of the carped definitley distracts, however I like the interesting viewpoint. Focus appears to be good and sharp on the eyes. Maybe a reflector or very very low powered flash would help to ass a little bit of a glint to the eyes.

nice idea and I like the PoV - it just lacks a little 'wow'.

Although you have chosen a very shallow DoF I think including the nose may have been better, and a catchlight in the eyes would have really lifted this.

Looks lovely and relaxed though :- )

I really love this, looks like he/she is in deep thought. Would have been better for me if you had a little more focus. Good luck 7

Nice capture. Did you try it with a bit more contrast?
