 This is Fritz, dafletch's comment describes him perfectly "a fed-up, cranky dude in a sour old mood"! lol After being the only dog for 11 years, his mood got worse after the addition of Mushu to the family hehehe

BTW this is his cute look, I had to say the word "walk" for his ears to go up and get that tilting head =P (yes he got his walk afterwards).. also, I made this B&W with high contrast because I felt it added to his character.

Great Shot! Black and white looks good. I am interested in seeing the color photo. The expression almost makes him look like he is very unhappy with you, annoyed I would say. My wife says he looks mean. This is one of my favorite shots in this competition. Everything here just works. Congrats! You should score well.

I like the overall contrast throughout the photo. The patches of light and dark everywhere looks great.

I haven't seen all of the photos yet, but so far I hope this wins, or at least ribbon. God knows what Fritz is thinking!

I like the stark, high-contrast, blown image. Really highlights a cute dog. Seems liek it's a bit oversharpened to me. but still a 7 to me.

How long did you make Fritz sit and pose? He looks like a fedup, cranky dude in an sour old mood! But it paid off for a great shot that looks perfect in b/w. Now give him a bone and put a smile on that face!
