Goreous lighting and processing. So much emotion in those eyes.

This is so charming! The lighting and processing really highlights the mood.

That is one sad looking puppy dog, but everything about this is well done, especially the lighting.

What an excellent pet portrait! The lighting is fabulous. Love the way it highlights the edges of the dog's ear and rear leg.

One of the best dog shots on this site. The lighting and b&w conversion are both excellent.

This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: the puppy fits perfectly in the frame, and his eyes fall right in the rules of thirds, drawing me into his gaze. nicely done
color: sepia is a perfect choice for the mood, very soft and comforting
contrast: maybe a little less contrast between his face and the arm of the chair would have been nice, but at the same time, i like it, so im at a draw in that department, haha.
focus: spot on, his eye is in perfect focus
awesome. glad you used a wide aperture so those eyes can really pop
gorgeous lighting, great find.
other: i love this photo. The lighting and mood of it just evoke comfort and lazy Saturdays. I hope you are proud of this shot, you should be. And that ear propped up? Is just about the cutest thing...ever. Congrats on the top 10 finish! Hope this comment was useful to you. If you have anymore questions, feel free to PM me anytime.

Good choice to use duo-tone to emphasize how the dog and the sofa blend together.

I really like this. Perfect choice of DOF, particularly the OOF foreground feetsies, and love the light on the face, the ear on the pillow, the texture of the couch. Excellent conversion, comp, etc. Just an all around very enjoyable photograph!

How sweet! Great choice in B&W. The blurry spot just below his/her eye is a little distracting but overall a great shot!
