Zelly and Sam

Technically unconventional (horrible was the first word I used, but I donĂ¢€™t think my tone using it translated well to the written space), compositionally a tad 'off' for this viewer, and yet it totally captures the bond between dog and owner. I do though have a couple of issues with it that prevent, for me, it moving into the artlessly charming, high scoring area. The most glaring is the encroachment of a hand to the left of the frame - once spotted, this totally changed the way I viewed the photo. Strange how a tiny thing like that can matter so much.

A very comfy, if somewhat startled, looking cat. Good exposure, nice setting. A bit of a shame moggy is looking just above the viewer rather than right in to our eyes.

A slightly deeper dof and you would have nailed this.

Oh, I do like this (and I do recognise owner and feline). A really good composition, that totally nails the relationship between cat and human.

Portrait of a Scruffy Dog

A tad over sharpened, especially the eye, to the point that it actually becomes somewhat uncomfortable to view. Taking that aside, you have a good portrait here - definitely worth going back in and toning down a notch.6 - would have been a 7 or 8 without the over-sharpening.

Oh my goodness! I am guessing, but by no means completely certain, that this is a child's model of a crocodile/alligator. A fun photo that has certainly made me laugh.

Not sure if this is a heavy crop, or taken with a very low resolution camera, but there is a loss of fine detail. Lovely sharp focus on the eyes, but a lack of engagement with the viewer - cats are notoriously hard to photograph well (I have one, but didn't enter because of this).

How on earth has that young boy grown to be such a man - you are right to be immensely proud.
