I did not vote in this challenge but I would have given this a 6. It's got nice detail though I find the background/backdrop distracting and it immediately draws my eye away from the dog. The next thing that I notice is that the dog is looking away from the camera off to the side. I feel a more personal reaction to the photos where you can actualy look into the dogs/animals eye, that is just a matter of taste for me. The lighting seems nice and well focused and he is a cute dog. hope this helps and this is just my opinion, it defintly didn't deserve a 3 or 4, at least imo.

nice detail in the bird, though I might add a bit of contrast. I'm not a fan of the drop shadow but that is just a matter of taste, if I were to add a shadow it would be one to give the illusion of the light shining down on him.

seems a bit soft, maybe it could use a bit of sharpening.
