The title doesn't fit for me as neither one of them appears to be looking at it, the bright highlights have lost some detail in both their faces too but it's a cute shot, lovely little doggy.

Friend or Foe

Not exactly affectionate if you're implying the man is possibly afraid, lol. Very cute nonetheless, very cool lizard; nice sharp focus. Not too keen on the negative space but I appreciate it may not have worked as well with another composition. Made me chuckle!

Lovely shot, fantastic focus, the dog looks absolutely in love with her. Great exposure and composition. A ribbon winner perhaps?

In Tuna With Each Other

Such beautiful and intense eyes, a stunning cat; love the shallow DOF in this shot and the focus on the cat's face is great. I don't like the border though, I think it detracts from the image. Good title.

Love Is The Stick You Throw

Brilliant capture, gorgeous coat on the dog. A playful dog during stick-throwing time is indeed a loving creature! Great focus, very nice job overall.

There is a lot of pixellated noise here, possibly compression issues, which really spoils the image. It's a cute moment but a bit of a snapshot.

Horses and Their Lady

I don't personally approve of the use of animals in a circus (that's what this looks like, my apologies if I'm mistaken) but that aside, the shot isn't very good quality in general; nothing is in clear focus, it's quite noisy, most of the details have been lost through movement and the blown highlights. The motion is a little bit interesting but this is a low-scorer for me, I'm afraid.

The dog looks so relaxed and happy! What a lovely shot. This has a lot of character, a nice friendly face on the chap and the dog is a cutie. Nice b&w conversion, great focus and crisply sharp. Way to go, good luck!

A Working Relationship based on a Whisper
by hahn23

Comment:
I think a working animal has a different type of affection for it's owner than a regular pet, not to say that a 'pet' pet doesn't trust it's owner implicitly but an animal that works alongside it's owner has a different relationship, another level of trust and they become very in-sync. This is a lovely example. Beautiful horse; a bright shot with clear focus and nice colours. I do wish the fellow's feet weren't cropped off but I'm a stickler for chopped hands/fingertips/feet/toes. Very good overall, best of luck!
