This is Nellie. She's a girl, but doesn't mind wearing a tie as long as there are liver treats in the vicinity. I'm not thrilled with the lighting here (need to learn to use my lights!), but I liked her pose.

Absolutely wonderful. This is a very successful photo. This really stands out amongst all of the other dog images in this challenge.
Composition: I like the composition alot. The movement of the tie flowing to the foreground gives this photo a lot more depth and saves it from being just another portrait.
Lighting: Perfect. You did a very nice job with balancing the lighting and creating nice soft shadows that really support and enhance this photo. I think the background is as strong as the subject.
Thank you for the subtle border. Just enough. Only thing that I think detracts is the fact that her eyes are not as visible as I would want them to be. But that is the hair cut.
Awwww....Off the charts cute. Great processing, lighhting, composition, setting. A first class pet portrait. As good as I've ever seen. Abounding in subtle and excellent technique. 9
Just another day at the office,How cute. Good job with setting up the dog but watch the shadows on the back side. A small fill light would have been very useful here.
