Wow! How'd you do it? If this is done within advanced, I can't figure out how you achieved the sparks, that little pup can't be that strong. ... Brilliant! Commenting only.

I wish 'bench' were more prominent ... because there is so much to love about this shot, but I'm afraid you'll get scored down for that (but I hope not). What do I like? The colors especially, the set-up, the composition, the clarity & patterns, the subtle vignette ... yes, challenge aside, it's a wonderful shot unto itself! Commenting only.

I really enjoy your set-up. It looks like you took some time to plan this out. The background is fitting, and the props add a lot. If you had diffused the flash a bit, I think it would've been even better. My husband made a cheap flash diffuser using a small piece of plastic milk carton. Sounds crazy but it works great! You can find out how online. :) Commenting only.
