Very low window light shot of my son and his dog. They were lying on the bed and I snuck up to take a shot when he just rolled over and looked right into the lens. Nikkor 85 1.4G - just got this lens and it just blows me away. Shot raw, color efex pro contrast, sharpening. I love that the dog is so out of focus as that is how he is, ever-present and always there protecting you.

I kind of wish some feature of the dog were more prominent, made it more recognizable. Without the title, it looks like he's hiding behind a pillow or piece of furniture at first glance.
What a lovely shot. Being ultra critical you I feel the composition is improved by cropping the top part of the boys head so his eye is on the 2/3rds line. Easy fix for a great shot of the young man and his companion.
I really want to comment on this without giving offense... the dog seems to be more of a blob of nothing rather than an attribute in this image. With a model with eyes like this boy I doubt you needed to obscure him with anything - he seems so full of character!
