Nice picture. I love the dog. He kind of looks the same as the plaid. I get the impression that if I looked again in 5 minutes, he would be red to match the blanket.
I see red as the color that sticks out. I like how you made the normally bland colors of the dog and the couch the thing which sticks out. Interesting title as well.
Gravity: It's not just a good idea, it's the law. Nice sharpness and focus, and the contrast between the patterned couch and dog fur and the red cloth is good stuff. Something about the folds in the cloth makes it look a little too "homemade", though. I think you could get in or crop a lot closer and keep the impact of the positives while losing a lot of the negatives.
