Nice Work Juliet. I Love the textures and lighting on both the dog and the leather chair. Really works well with the sepia tones. Tough scoring on this one.:-( (PS. I rated it a 7)
I admit I don't care for the yellowish color tones, and the harsh contrast. I personally would would suggest working the color into something a little more reddish or coppery. But the lighting and the tones you've captured here are just exquisite - beautiful work!
