New lens over the holidays. 85mm 1.2, so a lot of shots with shallow DOF and bokeh!! This was my 2nd test shot with the lens. I debated this for the Shallow DOF challenge, but felt it fit better here.

Nova is situated to the left as I like the rule of 3rds placement + I don't like cutting off the tales. So cropped accordingly. Happy with the 2nd place finish :)

Didn't consider cloning the eyes. Wockers sometimes have tears, and I think it's more natural to portray them that way.

Beautiful capture in black and white. I am not sure I understand why you included the extra space to the right.

Definitely stoic indeed.

Did you consider cloning around his eyes? Would have bumped this great photo to excellent status.

Pretty sure most people won’t notice it, but I’m a stickler for the fine details, should still do well.

Beautiful attentive position. Good sharpness on head and eyes. Intense. In my top 3. The blur of the dog itself is a bit too strong for me.
