Thank you for the lovely comments. There is not much extended editing here. Lucy did sit and pose with the bone. I had to clean up the drool from her mouth and the table. I also transformed the crown to make it larger, it was just too small on her big head, lol. I did a few small things, but nothing significant. She is such a good model as long as food is involved.

Beautiful puppy. Congrats! I don't see anything to change, it's positively glowing. If it were mine, I wouldn't have been able to resist giving her a bit of a cheesy grin, but that's why I would have received a 5.2. ...Our princesses are 10 this year.
Well...I’m going on the record as thinking there is absolutely nothing that could put this image “over the top” because it already IS over the top! It’s perfection! The lighting, the tones that give it a vintage, museum-quality painting feel. The gorgeous, obedient dog!!! I can rarely get my dogs to look at the camera when I’m holding their treat over the camera! To have a to-die-for bone on a human plate, just for them... ha! They’d be on that bone so fast, I’d easier get a shot of a hummingbird over that bone! Congratulations! This was the one I gave top honors to in this challenge!
my absolute favourite in the challenge .. it doesnt get much better than this ..
and Lucy is such an amazing model .. congrats on a great place in the challenge .. and a wonderful image ..
i'm very in awe of your abilities .. both yours and Lucy's .. :)
Nice tones, nice setup. But for some reason I'm wanting more. It seems like there could be something to take this from nice to incredible. I don't know if it needs a little more interesting lighting, or a lower angle, or even just cropping in from the sides a tad. Something is holding this back. -7- but it seems like it could have been an 8 or a 9.
I'd love to see this in a discussion thread afterwards. Because everything is technically beautiful. I'm not sure what would put it over the top.
Curious to hear comments on this. Personally I think its great as it is, but I would love to hear what people say what would make it even better. I hope it goes onto a discussion.
The reason it feels like something is a little off is because there is....it's very subtle though.......the dish with bone are not perfectly centered...there is more space on the left of the dish then on the right and the dish is not lined up perfectly centre with the chair.

Shame couldn't you get a bone with at least some meat on it for her birthday? I guess you ate the meat and then gave the dog the bone ;(
But it's a beautiful photo otherwise :)
Can't believe she would just sit there with a tempting bone right in front of her! But this is expert, so maybe she didn't LOL. Good detail throughout and I like that the background frames her subtly, with those faint diagonals drawing my eye to her.
Well, Happy Birthday, Princess! Looks like you made out like a bandit with that bone... and how about a very high score for a birthday present! You look pretty amazing here!
