This was a tricky shot. The grass and the lip of the pitcher made it a bit difficult to get Kitty in focus. She is a Jack Russell Terrier puppy. She is small and loves small places..lol

That IS the cutest dog I have ever seen! And the photograph is even more touching. You captured the emotion perfectly without sacrificing anything. Great color and composition
I forgot to post that her named was changed to Minnie a few days after this shot. She was just 5 weeks old and I only had her for a couple of days. Minnie just fits her better:)
You should print an 8x10 and frame it in some room of your house with a nice matte and frame. As this puppy grows older you'll always get a smile and feel good remembering those puppy months. I have puppy picks in my house and although I see them everyday; some days I really feel great seeing my 'babies' as pups.
This photo is a treasure. Your others are as well.

I really liked your image and even picked it as one of my top three for the week. But, my wife and I wondered if the dog would really go into the jug on his own or was coaxed to enter by the photographer.
Your statement provided with the image seems to indicate that the puppy does this on his own. Very interesting and strange. Cats tend to do this sort of thing, but I have not seen a dog do it that often. It is a great shot and I am very pleased to see you do so well.
This is one of the cutest photographs I have seen in a long time. I like the depth of field, but the cuteness is what really strikes me. Comment only - no vote.
This is sooo cute :D The only thing I can see wrong is its a bit too green could have corrected it in photoshop But its beautiful anyway ;) nice job :D
this is just too cute. its the sort of shot i can imagine on one of those blank greeting cards, especially in B&W. the composition is nice, perhaps a little close on the left, but not unforgivable. the dof is perfect, and the expression on his face is is priceless! of course you are going to tell us how he got in there! :)
How adorable. I think this will be a ribbon picture. Grass might be just a little oversaturated. It doesn't really hurt anything though. Actually it might make for a little better contrast.
Unbelievably adorable! This is a shot worthy of being a poster! Whether set-up or "accidental", this shot is fabulous. Everything (lighting, composition, subject) works well together and draws the eye right in to that puppy's face. Destined to be a fav for many, I am sure.
This is so frighteningly adorable that I don't have words for it. I hope that container is as large, and the animal as comfortable, as it looks. Such a darling little peeping face. I also like that there's not much glare here, and yet the shadowed areas can still be made out fairly clearly, where they're in focus.
Oh I want!!! So cute!! Once again, a nice tight crop cutting out the grass and more puppy would have been nice. Or maybe a crop of just its face and a little handle, to show what it's in...
This is so cute. It is amazing how you got the little dog into the jug and to stay there. The green grass and the black and white of the dog and jug work well together. THe DOF is spot on and enhances your image even more. I first gave this a 9 but bumping to a 10 now - Gary.
What a great subject! Your composition and exposure are excellent. the only thing I don't like is the tall blade of grass on the left. Niecely done and I give it a 9 (10 without the grass blade).

If this doesn't win a ribbon I'll eat my head. Great subject, model, DOF, focus - it's got it all. A touch more light on the pup would have been good. [10]
Well..... Hmmm.... another pet photo... yadda yadda yadda yadda and so on and so forth...... Pet photos are so common and cliche these days, but every once in a while, someone will catch something great as you have here. This is an amazing photo. I want to give this photo a 10 so bad I can taste it. The only thing that is holding me back is your title :( I really wish this photo had some really creative title to go along with it like "Timid" or "My Hideout" or "Taking Cover" or " Cozy" or something else that integrates well with the mood that this photo conveys to me. This little dog looks frightened... I probably put too much emphasis on titles, but they are important to me. Great photo and good luck in this challenge... This is worthy of a ribbon :)
This is absolutely precious !!! Great composition, clour is nice, great candid photo. The only suggestion I would have is to include more space of green above the can. My personal favourite !
Soo cute! And I don't normally go for the cute shots! I like the off-centred composition but feel it could be improved further by cropping just a little less tightly at the left and bottom edges - the edge of the mug feels too crowded within the frame. That said it's still very strong as it is and the eye contact is great!
