You puppy is very adorable. I have a bit of experience photographing tiny dogs, as I have 3 small chihuahuas of my own. It's not easy to photograph them as they are in constant movement.

Your photo has good sharpness, but it could use a bit of brightening as your puppy is fairly dark on a fairly greyish background. I don't think the desaturation of other colours was a good choice. The purple leash in front of the pup distracts from the dog himself. Also your hand was not neccessary in the shot, as the buckle size on the leash already establishes that the dog is small. The green gras could have liven up the photo and make nice colour contrast to the dog. 7

Photographing young dogs needs lots of patience and hundreds of shots to get just the right one. So don't give up. You will eventually end up with some very good shots of your little companion if you keep trying.

Nice image. Too bad that damaged thumb is part of the shot. I find that the desat is a tad too promounced. A bit more green in the grass would have highlighted that nice purple lead. And I thought my Snoopy was a small pup.

Cute pup. The hand gives shows how small he is. What happened to the grass? I would like to see the original. The green should have been a nice contrast with the brown pup.

Cute face, good detail. Grass doesn't look green.

Cute dog. Wish the lighting were better;. he's a bit too dark, and the overall contrast and light is flat. That should be easy to fix in PS for next time, within the rules.
