5 - For this Challenge would have liked to have seen the dog's eyes more/open. Sharper too and a more refined crop, make this better in my opinion. Nice image, but for this Challenge, as mentioned - just like to have seen the dog's eyes, etc.
I like the pose and title. I'm sure mine was saying the same thing. Nice even lighting. My only thought is that it lacks a big impact, though I can't think of an immediate suggestion to help with that.
haha, I'm sure this is how all of our pets must have felt like after we had snapped away at them. I know my dog kept giving me a big sigh. : ) Great photo!
