3 - Good props to use for this Challenge - perhaps a different angle would have helped this (although the focal point/dof confuses me somewhat either way).

8 - Wow. Very nice. Like your framing. Maybe, a little more land at the bottom for additional balance - if it was there of course (and your call anyway, also 'of course') - very, very minor - but looks like something poking up mid to right at the bottom of the frame - which could be why there is not more 'fore'. Nice shapes, colors and elements. Overall (and I noticed this at first too), could be a visual thing and/or perspective thing, but looks like it needs the thinnest whisker nudge rotate up on the right to straighten, or a perspective correction - perhaps more noticeable on the shape of the land in the distance on the left. But you may find this all too 'nit-picky'... if so, just ignore ":)".

6 - Beautiful geological patterns and formations. Nicely captured, although looks like it needs a perspective correction.

4 - Awesome scene - don't get why you didn't tweak it to let it pack more punch and refine the crop too.. The lighting/shadows over the mountains is nice. edit to add: I may have been a fraction harsh with my vote on this for this Challenge - nevertheless, Congratulations.

8 - Ha, gives a good sense of scale. With your title (and I do get it) - 'if only' I could see him barking.
