Shot at the lakeside....I was in the water, Zoe was on shore in the bushes. The image was too dark, so I adjusted shadow/highlights to bring Zoe out of the background.

Very nice natural portrait of the dog. I love the green around it which is so very lush. The wetness of the fur conveys even more fully that lush, moist feel to the image. 8
I love the sharpness of the dog with the out of focus foreground and background. Definitely nice bokeh. I would have liked a little more space on the left side of the frame, so that the dog was not so centered. 7 from me.
I already voted, now back for comments. I gave you an 8 on this shot. Lovely colors, nice subject and bokeh. The only detraction is the leaves almost cutting his head from his body. Without that this would have been a 10.
The bokeh in the foreground is a little harsh though frames the dog well. The in focus (or close to it) leaves in front of the dog are a bit distracting.
