Nice dog photo, but it's a stretch, many dogs look sad, even when they are happy. I don't recognize the song, but don't fear, I'm not penalizing you on my lack of song titles. Challenge met, but on the weak side. 6 Swash
Didn't he get what he wanted? He is so cute. It should have been in color, because of his color against the light background and the tree. I'd love to see it in color. Bet it would be a 9. As B&W you loose a couple of points. It is well focused and cropped. I like the compositin and subject. As it's a 7. PTL
The dog does look blue, like s/he is sad that there is no bones under the tree. For me I don't think the black and white worked in this shot. I would liked to have seen the green of the cristmas tree for there wasn't much of it in the shot. 7.
Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo
