the background really distracts me and doesn't hold ground for this image. The black/white doesn't do it any justice as well.

I like this shot. The contrast between the dog and the background really makes things pop.

I like this image overall. I don't mind pet portraits, I've done a couple myself. ;^) The thing that is going to pull this shot down is the focal point. Even your title eludes to it - the focal point is on the nose when the eyes are what should be tack sharp. Additionally, the nose isn't on an intersecting ROT point. The eyes are. This is one case of the title working against you maybe? I like the bokeh you've got working in the background. The DOF is very good, as is the lighting in general. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Too 2-dimensional for my taste.

looks like some really bad post processing here .Maybe thats not what it is in which case I apologize. just seems the parts of the leaves that are blurred dotn follow any natural pattern or look like theres a natural reason for such random blurring. hope that helps explain things in case your not getting as high a vote as you expected.
