border and the fact it looks as if its not lined up correctly has put me off this,,, pity as its a good subject matter for the theme.... maybe a closer shot of the trademark name might have been better...

I like the coloring. Good composition - the tall pillars help give the sense of excessiveness. A little dark toward the name on top.

Nice abstract. I like the softness of the lines and the subtle changes in color tones. I'd also like to see this with the levels boosted up and more saturation, but I like it the way it is. 8

cool idea. i wish the darks were darker and the lights lighter...i guess that's more contrast. but it's not even that...i think you needed at least a secondary light source to really make your lines more interesting. like the line from the right side to the bottom...that needs to be stronger some how. also the left panel feels a bit heavy in the pic (compared with the upper right), i would have cropped out some of the left, probably to the corner at the top. maybe it's just me as ii think i said that on another pic :) just keep up the interesting ideas.

Great capture. I feel bad that the American Staffordshire Terrier gets such a bad rap. If bred properly and raised well, they are just as good a dog as a lab or cocker!!!

Love the eyes and the way you cropped it. This dog almost has Weimeraner coloring! Good job.
