I just can't help it but to me he looks like a young pup. You'll probably come back and tell me that he's an oldie and I believe you, but to me the shot looks like a cute sleeping pup. Also not keen on the two different backgrounds, of the two the dark blue jumper is better.
I feel like i could reach out an pet him. I like the focus, it is very clear, and the framing you have used. The only nit is hte background in the lower right, but i understand why that couldn't be changed. Just let 'em sleep! karmat
GREAT !!! I think you did a wonderful job. The title is very appropriate. The angle and closeness is what really makes this stand out. He is very cute and does look like his 'glory days' have since passed him by. Great work - 9 Ruthann
