Excellent emotograph. I expect to see this on Posthumous's winners for this challenge.

Normally tongues are a big turn-off in a photo, but in this one, it works. Great eyes and expression. Looks like he needs a shave, though...

I'm curious how you got this shot - either it can't fly, is very brave, or you were very, very patient (or lucky). Beautiful!

Not into the blue / purple cast. Otherwise a very nice shot. Might want to try it off center.

Image has a split personality. Pick a subject - sailboat or surfer - they're not close enough to work. Also, both appear OOF - focus appears to be on the ocean floor in the foreground.

Very, very nice. What makes this picture pop for me are two major factors - she's looking directly at the camera and engages the viewer immediately. The flyaway strand of hair adds a sense of transience and intrigue. Excellent lighting.

Awesome Dog

For a shot like this, the dog *has* to be in focus. The blue collar detracts from the dog. The very light blanket in the foreground distracts. Lots of patterns and textures in the picture that don't work together. A tighter crop would have reduced the distractions. Looks like a wonderful dog. Is he on your spot on the couch? Looks like something he would do...
