I wish this was bigger so I could get a better look. I like your composition and the pup is adorable. Wish you hadn't cropped the top of his head off, but nice shot from what I can tell
He's a cutie. And he meets the challenge. I'm afraid the small size is going to cost you some points -- people are always complaining about them. I think otherwise this is a very nice photo, but probably won't get the score it deserves. Hope I'm wrong.
Cute pooch. Two comments. Size really should be larger...try to submit a photograph that measures between 600-640 pixels on the long edge. Other comment is that while the focus appears to be sharp, there are aliasing artifacts (stair-stepping jaggies) on the deck boards which is a result of either resizing the photograph without using a bicubic or equivalent algorithm, or by cranking the sharpness up too high. These two issues mainly detract from the beauty of this photograph. Sorry.
nice shot. i like the composition. i think it fits the challenge but its just slips under the thread. i wont peanilize you for the size it happens to all of us.
this is a great picture, but i wish it could be bigger, it's much too small to fully appreciate... still, the expression on the dog's face is irresistible... you should try to use up to the 640 dimension allowed on the longer side and lower to the 150K limit with jpeg compression... 6.
