Strike a Pose

VERY sweet. it's a little dark in the foreground IMO, it takes a second to deipher the pose and which parts are what, but a strong, strong entry.

In MY perosnal opinion this is by far the best shot in the challenge, and it's my only 10. it's the only one of these shots I'd want to hang on the wall iuf I weren't connected to the animal emotionally. The composition is really terrific, the sense of place is immacualte, the tones are lovely, the animal has a certain "presence" that is appealing. I hope it does well but fear it will be eclipsed by 'cute"

Day at the Beach

A "true" portrait, which I appreciate. The image is appealing, but has some slight flaws: it's cropped a little tight to the paws, for one thing. It would be better if the off hind leg were not occluded by the left front leg. And it would be improved dramatically by dropping the camera down a bit more than yoiu already did. Still, a stroing image and a stron score from me. probably won't beat the "cute" shots, but a nice piece of work.
