Very cute puppy. Is it a West Highland Terrier? The face remind me very much of my cairn. It is really hard to get them to be still for a photo!

Okay, started a comment on this one and then got distracted and lost it! ;) THis is a very cute candid shot but not really portrait style to me. If the smaller dog was more in the picture and looking at the bone it might be alot closer to the portrait style. The cropping is fine on the larger dog, it doesn't hurt having the ear or tail cut off, at least not in a picture :) But the black and white doesn't work very well in this case because thre is no definite white area. It's all grays and black, no contrast or element to really make it pop. A 5

This is my second go-around =) - For some reason it almost looks like the dogs were cut out and placed on the black background. Maybe too much post-processing? I think the composition would look better if you did not crop of the paw and tail of the dog on the left. The photo also needs some highlights - looks overall very grey. Otherwise, I really like your idea and think it is a cute photo! (and cute pups!!!)

is this backwards?

Was this supposed to be backwards? If it were "THE" in light and the darkness it would have been very creative. I think if the photo had been flipped it would have scored higher.

To much clutter here I feel, maybe going in closer to flowers would help?

Maybe not enough "beginning" without the title! like the composition, except for the lamp under the arch - was there a way to frame this so that you caught the light without the bulb in frame?

Distracting. Maybe if the letters were turned around.
