I think the light is too harsh and this does not have the feel of a portrait. The bit of green in the background is distracting.

Nice detail of the fur, but I would like to see his/her eyes. I also find the background distracting--a solid color would work better.

To me, a portrait is about control--of the background, lighting and pose. Including a toy is fine, but the focus should still be on the pet. The light seems to be aimed at the toy making it seem more like the subject, and while I can see the dog's eyes, his ears are lost in the shadows. While the background is dark, I can still see it is a room in your house.

For me, a portrait should include the face.

This seems more like a snapshot and not a portrait. To me, a portrait is about control--the pose, the lighting and the background. Grass would work fine for the background, but this pose does not work for me.

Great focus and detail, however I expect to see a face included in a portrait.

The lighting is too bright and the focus seems a little off to me.

The angle of the head doesn't work for me. Maybe if the nose were not cut off it would help, but there is something about where the head joins the neck that looks strange.

This dog is glowing yellow. Gives a radioactive look.
