Gorgeous colors and lighting. Looks like you have a one pixel border thingie on top and bottom.. is a bit distracting (but not points-deduction-worthy). I really love this image and it is a ten from me.

A little dark probably could of used a small flash. Either way, above average, and very nice. GL.

To me, a portrait has controlled lighting and setting. Outdoor shots can work as a portrait but should not overwhelm the subject. I think it would help to tone down the blue and the green. The lighting seems too harsh, and the eyes are lost in shoadows.

The eyes are too dark it kind of looks like he is wearing an eye patch.

Too much contrast, not enough midtones. Wish I could see the entire front paws, dirt speck in the clouds. Nice DOF and expression.

Lovely setting; wish the dog's eye wasn't in shadow.

If Prince Charles could be a dog, he'd be photographed in this type of setting! *evil grin* Really beautiful shot! I hope you've printed this out and framed it!

Nice. The lighting is a smidge harsh on the top of his nose. Wish the eye wasn't in shadow. Love the composition. I might crop and zoom in on him a bit more. He's lovely.
