 My Dog, Samantha, loves to lie on the landing of the stairs. She can look out the front door from their, so she likes to protect us, and now that it's Christmas time, she was also protecting the Christmas gifts.

4 - Good potential, like the setup. Wish the dog was in good focus and sharper.

The gifts make the background too busy for me. I think two or three gifts would have worked better and the title could still be used. There seems to be a blue cast to the lighting, and I would like sharper focus, especially on the eyes.

I think there's too much room on the left. Maybe center the dog better. Also, the focus on the face seems softer than on the carpet.

I don't know about the title... he (she?) doesn't seem very threatening to me.

nice effort - I think this would have come off better with a little sharper focus on the dog's face
