Another animal portrait. The feet are cut off and the tail appears to be a growth on the head. The background could have been improved also and the coloring more saturated. I'm guessing you didn't spend a lot of time on this challenge.
This one, I'm sorry, looks like a snapshot, with the dog and the tree competing for attention. The background immediately around the dog also draws attention from the dog, instead of to it. Probably would have been better with a larger aperture - smaller f stop number - to shorten the depth of field and focus on the dog's head to make the background blur a bit. 4
The light seems very harsh, although surprisingly there aren't any shadows - very confusing! Focus is soft, with little detail in terms of texture preserved.
