The border is distracting and the subject is poorly lit

This would have been so much better without the border or whatever it is. A little more contrast would have helped too.

ahhhh. Love the picture hate the cheesy fuzzy blur you hastily slapped on the border. Damn you! 7 anyway, would have been a 9 or ten otherwise. :(

Adorable picture, I think it would have been even better without the mask.

The shading makes it really hard to see the dog.

The white 'feathering' is really distracting in this picture. Without it I would have rated this much higher then I did. Also, you should have staged it somewhere with a better background, the chair and stuff on the walls in the background draw me away from the subjects. Otherwise, you captured moment quite artfully.

This is a nice image. I like the way the child is kissing the dog to show their affection. I also like the way you did the border to show the softness of the meaning. Nice job.
