I'm sitting here trying to figure why this didn't place higher than it did. I love it! Definate link to the challenge. Could be dark and light too...but Dog and Leash is just perfect!
Focus and clarity seem great to me. I love the textures we can make out in the dogs face. Oh what a cutie.
I think the part I really like the most is his eyes. They are dark, yet we can still see them very clearly. they give him such personality in this photo. Just kind of relaxin in the sun.
Speaking of sun, the light on the wall behind him gets a little bright toward the right side of the photo, and the shadow is a little bit distracting.
I love how the leash is sitting in front of him. Looks well placed and not sloppy, but not set up either.
I wonder how this would look if you straightened up the tilted horizontal line of the wall? Would it benefit the photo by straightening it up, or would it make the dog look crooked then? Hard call without seeing it, but maybe something to try.

This "D&L" had occured to me as well. My dog wouldn't have kept still for it.
The shadow in the background is a bit distracting. The sunlight must've been a bit harsh.
HEE HEE I thought of that one myself. Great capture. I love the shadows of his ears. Great light. Super contrast without it being harsh. I really like this alot. Any shot with a pet gets an extra point from me. 9 I woke up this morning, reviewed this shot again and I'm not changing my opinion or my score. It's like you said "Ok, Rover.... are you ready for your portrait now?" and he/she struck this position and froze. hee hee REALLY REALLY like it
