The light on Hoover's fur in this shot is really nice! I also like how well Hoover is defined and stands out (pun intended). One minor point of citicism would be the pole that seems to gro out of his back

Aw but I am growing to look forward to watch this little guy grow up via the great shots you show us of him. For some reason, his posture reminds me of a person leaning up against a fence watching something out of my view. You probably could add more by trying different types of pping to it but for me, Hoover can hold his own.
I didn't read what pixelpig wrote before I made a similar comment - how funny we see him as in a very human pose.

A man in a dog-suit, is Hoover. He looks completely in charge.

Hi,

Been away from DPC for quite a fair while and just getting back into things....

Anyway, greetings from the Critique club.

This is a well constructed image, and fits the challenge well. I'm a tech/geek kinda fella and I find it interesting to look at, but unfortunately not for long.

Once I'm over the 'Oooo, that's kinda cool, wonder how it was done' aspect I find the subject is quite busy and there's no one point of interest or area to concentrate so my eyes flick around looking for something to rest on.

For the subject and method the central framing is probably appropriate but I wonder if it'd been on an angle, or partially cropped it might have given more interesting lines? It's just not holding my interest.

Maybe adding it into a 'natural' surrounding? In a plastic skeleton hand? I'm not sure....

Great effort though, and well executed layering/alpha/color selection. It's just missing that 'something' to bring it up a bit more.

Cheers, Chris H.

Nice view, boss (6/52)

Ahhh, I like it that Hoover is looking back at you, even with that beautiful vista in front of him. I like the DOF you used also. Good photo.

Now this is my idea of a Pooch POV. Good exposure and of course I'm going to say you need a reflector or fill in flash :P Good shallow DOF and comp.

I like this one because you really get a sense of how tiny he is here.

Adoration or begging? Must be the first one! (3/52)

Only breed I could think of was Yorkie :) Sorry if I offended Hoover hehe :) The dhacshund was also bread to head into holes after prey. Sure it's not always easy to get 3" off the ground unless you have a DSLR with a tilt screen and the D7000 is not a prosumer model with that "feature"!

Nice duo colours here and typical dog interaction on a simple grey BG. Wait until they sniff each others...oh wait don't go there lol.
