My Babyby

This is definately one cute pup.
The very first thing I notice when the pic came up is the background. while it contains no distracting elements what so ever, it seems odd still. There was a comment about how it made the dog look like he was floating, and that might be it. It looks like he's just hovering in space. That normally would be an ok thing, cause it's not distracting or cluttered. Solid backgrounds are nice, but I think that it does not work with this angle. I love the angle which you chose to photograph your cutie. Definately a step up from the straight on shots of the dogs head. It makes me wonder if his legs are really that tiny, or if the angle makes them look tinier than they really are...or a little bit of both.
Focus seems a tad soft. While I like the DOF very much, I think that his eyes, nose and ears are still a little too soft. Well, he probably IS soft, but I mean that I think the focus could be a little sharper around his eyes, nose and ears.
This photo shows personality. Actually, he looks a little angry that you were taking his pic. lol Like he's saying "um, excuse me, but did I ASK you to take my pic?"
Lighting is very nice. No aweful hot spots or distracting shadows. I do like how you can see the wiskers to the right (his left) even though the background is dark and the wiskers are dark also. That's touch to do.
Overall a very nice portrait of your beloved pet. One to keep and cherish forever.
