I knew this one would ribbon, I voted it a 7 for excellent balance of softness and sharpness, subtle lighting and positioning all excellent. This is also one of the cutest Shelties I've ever seen!Message edited by author 2009-02-18 00:07:17.

You should have had a minus one handicap applied to all votes you get because Jake is so good looking. Nice pic with lovely lighting. 7.

Beautiful Photo, I am not sure about the background color....something just catches me as a bit off. Would have liked to see a bit more of the other eye, but that is just a preference thing. Love the lighting and good for you for cleaning your dog before taking a "glamor shot." Great shot overall. A 9 from me!

Incredible lighting and the texture of the fur is just awesome. My favorite breed of dog as the subject doesn't hurt. 10!

Great photo, a 6 would have been a 8 if i could see his whole ear.

great color and the first shot and i think the only shot in this comp. that pulls of the soft feel. very well lit. However, i don't like that Jake's ear is cropped off in this.

With all of the planning, grooming and lighting (and patience on both parts, I imagine), it seems like the ears would not have been cut off. *sigh* Still a 7 from me.
