Man if it weren't for the Olympics, I'd have entered this in pet portraits... I hope people aren't too sick of dog photos. How content I am with the photo determines my level of disappointment when the voting starts....

Your subject is beautifully sharp, and that makes a big difference.
While I wish the nose didn't touch the edge of the frame, the
remainder of the image is just excellent.
One of very few pet shots I like. I'm not a pet shot person because I don't think many have the talent to get there kind of pets in the right kind of composition...you did a wonderful job, and so did the model. 9
Beautiful shot for this challenge. I love the definition in the eye. Your model did a great job of posing for you. Pet shots can get tiring but this one is great.
I am probably not the best person to comment. But I get the feeling it is a little out of focus toward the end of the nose. Other than that, it certainly fits the challenge and is a good topic. 8
