Returning for comment. A nice idea, but this sillouette needs more beak showing IMHO. Also, the beak that's there is beyond the depth of field (at least looks unsharp to me).

Nice portrait! But it looks oversharpened, or simply was from a low resolution camera (or cropped too much). This affects the clarity of the presentation and will unfortunately, lower your score.

Returning for comment. Great pose/look! Good clarity too. I think a tighter crop would bring this a higher score (and a larger post--use closer to the 640 maximum in the longest dimension).

Revisiting for comment. Really great shot--I really love the desaturated tones here. And the light and composition gives it such character. Bumping up!

Revisiting for comment. Excellent cat portrait. Lighting is perfect, as is composition. At first, the table edge or whatever the corner line is seemed a distraction, but I really do like the two toned split it provides the shot: lighter on the bottom surface, and darker to the right. Bumping up.

This is a beatiful shot. I love the pose and the expression. The only improvement to me might have been a bit more light and sharpness in the dogs eyes. Bumping up!

This is a beautiful shot of this dog. I think a portrait mode composition would have worked better and I think using the rule of thirds would have made it more interesting than the centered approach. As composed, the equal balance between dog below his head and space above his head gives me a "chopped" impression on the dogs body--you want to see more. Still, very nice lighting and capture (7)

Well done I like the angle you chose here and the choice of B&W. Good composition, pose, and contrasts. Bumping up.
