like the b&w. good focus and centered composition helps denote the dogs rapt attention.

Oh my.... Great portrait. Perfectly focused on its eyes. Great hair detail. Nice DOF. Very well cropped. Dappled light used to enhance the mood. I love the dog expression, particuraly the way it shows its teeth. It's a real guardian, no doubt. I like B&W choice as it brings out more detail. Unfortunately I think it may suffer since DPC likes crisp and vibrant colours. Bumping up to 9.

Nice photo but i think to convey dappled light a little bit better backing away from the subect to get more shadows and patterns instead of the close up view of the one block of light. Beautiful photo but just not perfect for this challenge.

A bit too bright for my taste. He seems like a great friend.

This is a nice shot but I'm not sure why you chose B&W. Keeping in mind that I haven't seen the original (color) image, I don't think B&W is helping your shot any.
