Nice use of negative space. Glad you said in the title what this is as it helped to speed up the recognition. This is a fun (and presuming natural) black and white image. Actually, now that I've looked at it a second time while commenting I'm kinding of liking it a whole lot more than the first time. Substantial bump up in score. Good luck!
Cute! I think the white background kind of takes away from the subject, though. The grey at the upper left would have looked nice against the whole picture.

I'm not sure what that is. A magnetic toy perhaps. It's cute and the photo is well shot. great crisp white background, the border ties the colors in nicely. My only issue is the size of the dog in the frame. If it were larger in the frame and I didn't have to squint even with my glasses on to make out it's details it would be much better. I do like it though. very cute, very creative.
I really like the simplicity of this shot but if you are going to use a white background you really need to get it very very white. If you boost the brightness and then apply shadow/highlights you can remove the noise on the background and also make the figure more distinctive....
