Well look at that - this was the first image in the voting pool. Good job - very cute pic. Now here's some brutal critiques: could use some distance between you and the backdrop for some depth and since this was Expert editing, there is no excuse for some of the flaws like the white part of the wall showing in the upper left and you could have compensated for the lack of lighting on your face and your lovely blue eyes. Great detail on the dog and the hat fur, though. Of course, if this ribbons, I will surely STFU. ;-)
