wish the DOF was deeper and that you'd cropped a bit wider ...

This is a nice pic, very subtle yet speaks volumes. I have a lab who could pass as his brother. Nice work, I rate high

I like the light. Crop is too tight for my taste.

Composition: 5 - The centered composition works, but its distracting with the bottom of the nose touching the edge of the frame.
Technical: 9 - Great DoF and colour and lighting. I love it :)
Creativity: 5 - Not the most original of pet portraits, but cute all the same, and the lovely golden lighting gives it its own kind of feel.
Appeal: 7 - Really lovely cute photo :) Could have used the full 720 pixels though to let us see more detail.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 6

Very nice expression in the eyes, too bad you did not use a bigger picture. For this challenge we were permitted to use up to 720 pixels.
