The Image: I guess Millie and I have been here before, with a fouth placing in the last Furniture Challenge. I love the window and light in this room, so we were back. I like the 10mm wide angle and what it does for this image.
The Edit: Basic stuff...I have never really used a border like this, so hopefully it will work OK.
The Prediction: Hopefully over 6 :(
Post Challenge: Woo Hoo! Millie will be over the moon...not that she can understand a word I say to her! Thanks so much for the votes and comments everyone. It has surpassed my expectation. Awesome!

The simplicity and light are so beautiful. And the adorable bishon doesn't hurt either. The couch is such a nice complement to those beautiful windows. Congratulations.
oh and dogs can most definitely understand some words!
Yes, they do!
You say, "Millie, come here and sit by me. What a good dog you are, Millie! Give me sexy, Millie. That's it, Millie! Now... pout a bit, Millie... Yes, Millie! Great job!"
If you go and get yourself 2 more ribbons I am going to be forced to come back and take this place seriously again. Took me long enough to have the ribbon lead on you. Not sure if I want to relinquish it so quickly. ;)
Congratulations Enzo,
I wish my couch kicked your couch, but it seems yours has some self defense skills :)
Congratulation on the very well deserved Blue,
All the best,
Great shot Enzo. I prefer this one to your first furniture entry. I think the angle works well to put more emphasis on the couch rather than the window. One of my top 3. 10
Excellent example of furniture as the primary element with a secondary subject. Fabulous perspective and expression on the pooch, who's looking straight at the camera. Lighting is awesome, and the b/w really emphasizes the deco/nouveau window panes. Two TINY things I might have cloned out: the white spot on the collar, and the two hinges on the middle window. But really, I'm just nitpicking here...
Wow. Love the black and white conversion. Great texture in the dog and the couch. (They both seem sooo soft and inviting!). Exposure is really well handled. I am not fond of the border but it doesn't hurt the image either.
Composition is really good and I like the angle you shot this at. I can imagine you tried lower angles but this is really different and gives a fresh look to the shot.
I really can't say enough good things about this shot. This is my second image I've voted on and unless I see 3 shots that outdo this one, I am predicting this will be a ribbon winner!
Still My Couch of Choice
