Overall, a little dark for my taste. I would like to have seen more tonal range. I would also have like to have seen a tighter crop on the dog's face, removing most of the rug that is drawing my eyes from his adorable face.
I can see it now. You are gonna get hit big time because this is not B&W. They were discussing this in a forum. But it still is a beautiful portrait of a beautiful dog. And he is keeping his eye on you. Just in case you decide to go outside, he's not going to be left behind. Great shot. Technically I would have to cut the score because it's technically not B&W. But it still would be an 8. 2 is enough to cut for that. PTL
