Cute pup and nice pose! I feel like an adjustment to the levels to bring the darks out a bit more would help to give a little more depth and definition to this shot.
The first time I saw this, I thought it was way overblown, but now I have gone back to and studied it, I like it, would be a 10 but I do think that her right ear could be a little more shadowed. 9 great job well done
